With \u003ci\u003eSelected Writings\u003c\/i\u003e, he shifts his gaze from what people reveal through their actions and facial expressions to what they reveal through written expression: graffiti, signs, T-shirts, banners, gravestones and other public inscriptions. In this work, irony and tenderness struggle for the upper hand.\u003cbr\u003eKalvar's black-and-white photographs span his career from the late 1960s to the present, and were taken in locations across the Western world, especially in Paris, New York and London. From the odd to the surprising to the outright funny, they give a decidedly subjective overview of the public use of the written word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Kalvar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8862088078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788862088077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Damiani Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 8.50w x 0.71d","brand":"Richard Kalvar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372566008063,"sku":"9788862088077","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9753802-154d-44c3-81bd-ccbe02085257.jpg?v=1732726322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/richard-kalvar-richard-kalvar-9788862088077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
