Man and Beast: Photographs from Mexico and India (Southwestern & Mexican Photography) Details
Review "“It was great to work with Bill and the people at the University of Texas Press who published the book. They make beautiful books. I really admire what they do and it was a really pleasant experience.”" (Leica Camera blog 2014-05-19)""(t)he photographs are wise, warm and complicated. Like Helen Levitt, Mark is fascinated by the inner lives of children, but rather than capturing their play, their little dramas, she has them sit for immensely dignified portraits. And in “Man and Beast,” she extends that dignity to the world of animals."" (NYT Sunday Book Review 2014-06-01)"“There are echoes of other photographers in Man and Beast but if you’re willing to engage with the gazes her subjects throw right back at you, the book and the exhibition are experiences that not only are entirely of Mark’s making but actively make you a part of them too.”" (Aether Magazine 2014-07-25) Read more About the Author Mary Ellen Mark has published eighteen books, including Seen Behind the Scene, Exposure, Falkland Road, and Ward 81.
