Description

Book Synopsis

This bold and vibrant volume celebrates the analog color work of one of America's greatest street photographers.

Gritty and unflinching, the photographs of Mark Cohen depict raw, fragmented details of urban life in vivid color. One of the best photographers of his generation, Cohen started out in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in the mid-1960s.

His work often focuses on details or isolated body parts rather than conventional portraits. This volume--brilliantly edited and captioned by photographic historian Phillip Prodger-- showcases fifty years of Cohen's work.

Luminous full-page images, printed in gorgeous color and enhanced by a spot varnish, allow readers to appreciate how Cohen used powerful contrasts and rich hues to capture raw emotions and fleeting moments with striking clarity. With the renewed interest in early analog color photography, Mark Cohen's work stands out for its intrepid chromaticity, unconventional compositions, and gift for conveying the essence of his subjects and environments with intimacy and authenticity.
