Annie Leibovitz "Women", Essay by Dusan Sontag

Priced in Mexican Pesos. The photographs by Annie Leibovitz in Women , taken especially for the book, encompass a broad spectrum of subjects: a rap artist, an astronaut, two Supreme Court justices, farmers, coal miners, movie stars, showgirls, rodeo riders, socialites, reporters, dancers, a maid, a general, a surgeon, the First Lady of the United States, the secretary of state, a senator, rock stars, prostitutes, teachers, singers, athletes, poets, writers, painters, musicians, theater directors, political activists, performance artists, and businesswomen. "Each of these pictures must stand on its own," Susan Sontag writes in the essay that accompanies the portraits. "But the ensemble says, So this what women are now -- as different, as varied, as heroic, as forlorn, as conventional, as unconventional as this."Product IdentifiersPublisherRandom House Publishing GroupISBN-100375500200ISBN-139780375500206eBay Product ID (ePID)660058Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicSubjects & Themes / Portraits & Selfies, Individual Photographers / General, Women's StudiesPublication Year1999GenrePhotography, Social ScienceNumber of Pages248 Pages
