On Assignment

By Arthur Leipzig

In this beautiful book Arthur Leipzig gives us an opportunity to see many of his finest photographs culled from a lifetime of assignments. On Assignment contains over 105 images beautifully printed in duotone with an introduction by Ann Tucker, Curator of Photography of the Houston Museum of Fine Art.

The photographer Gordon Parks wrote, "Leipzig opens up our feelings to so many things." Ann Tucker wrote, "We can imagine the joy of young boys leaping into the East River, the gentle dreams of his daughter curled into sleep, and Pablo Casals pleasure in performing with Gregor Piatagorsky. While his approach to lead with his heart is evident in the pictures, most particularly in their lyric sweetness, one should not discount the mental rigors of being a photographer working on assignment."

This title is out of print; limited quantity avaiable.
