Reviews
A collection of densely dark, dreamlike black-and-white photos by Louis Stettner... Convincingly evokes an era of decorous travel... The book's large format suits Stettner's penchant for framing quotidian scenes in inky shadow, like glimpses of other lives in the windows of a departing train.

Synopsis
Louis Stettner is one of the last living members of the avant-garde New York School of photography of the 1950s, which challenged many of the long-accepted foundations of art form. His Penn Station series of the late 1950s represents some of his most important work, gathered here in a single form for the first time. The series is less a portrait of the building than a study of people at once in transit and in suspension. The pivotal moment for Stettner occurred in 1957, the year before he began the series in earnest. He had taken a photograph of a girl in a party dress stepping from one circular patch of sunlight to another across the vast floor of Penn station, away from the photographer into the shadowy distance. A year later Stettner felt compelled to return and create the series, but he found the photographs not "newsworthy" enough to publish. With time and distance, their significance has been recognized, and the series is now considered a major work of art., A poetic look at Penn Station from Louis Stettner, one of the masters of street photography, published in book form for the first time, A poetic look at Penn Station from Louis Stettner, one of the masters of street photography, published in book form for the first time Louis Stettner is one of the last living members of the avant-garde New York School of photography of the 1950s, which challenged many of the long-accepted foundations of art form.

- _***9 (71)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook is in great condition, just as pictured. I also saved $20 by buying it used (was listed as very good, but seems closer to like new). Got here within 2 weeks but may have gotten here faster if the seller had gotten it to the post office sooner (took 8 days). Nonetheless, I would gladly buy from this seller again.
