Product Description
Whether exploring the reclusive communities of the Amish and Hutterites, probing the gritty existence of the American cowboy, or revealing the quiet beauty of the Minnesota lakes, William Albert Allard has helped define America in all its diversity. From rodeos to blues singers, from William Faulkner’s Mississippi to minor league baseball, Allard has turned his camera toward parts of our heritage that are often overlooked. His other award-winning books include The Vanishing Breed and A Time We Knew.Portraits of America features 165 of Allard’s finest photographs. Presented in chronological order, with incisive introductions to each section written by Allard himself, these photographs show the creative development of a remarkably gifted artist.Pulitzer Prizewinning author Richard Ford contributes a foreword that places Allard’s photography within the context of the American experience. Art aficionados and lovers of Americana alike delight in this beautifully designed and thoughtful collection from a man who has become a legend in the world photographic community.
Customer Reviews
As I already said, the book is a work of art from start to finish. Allard's work never disappoints. Enough said. Far be it from me to make any of his excellent books look bad by giving fewer than five stars when my only problem has to do exclusively with the seller.From the start, I had clearly been given the impression that the copy of the book I ordered was going to be hardcover, and it arrived softcover. It arrived in perfect condition, just not hardcover.It was obviously a let-down to receive the softcover version when I had paid for (and obviously preferred) the more expensive and durable hardcover version, as this is a book I hope to have in my collection for the rest of my life.If I didn't live outside the country, I would attempt some sort of an exchange. But it's not worth the time or the effort.This seller just ought to be more careful in the future.
