American Color 2 Hardcover Constantine Manos Brand New Shrink-Wrapped

  

American Color 2 by Constantine Manos. The long-awaited continuation of the celebrated collection American Color.

In this brilliant work, Constantine Manos continues his exploration of the dynamic intersection between subject and time, the real and the surreal in American towns. From Santa Monica and New Orleans to Provincetown and New York City, on streets, beaches, crowded boardwalks, and at small-town carnivals, Manos has captured the varied spectrum of contemporary life in all its offbeat and charming strangeness. These moments are elusive and varied, asking questions without giving ready answers. Ordinary people drift between technicolor landscapes and dark shadows, tumultuous city streets and stark ocean horizons. Manos' lens is to unleash a cacophony of brilliant colors often overlooked in day-to-day observation. This volume includes an introductory essay by Alison Nordstrom, Curator of Photographs, George Eastman House. Constantine Manos is a member of the prestigious photojournalist cooperative, Magnum. His work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, among others. His books include Portrait of a Symphony, A Greek Portfolio, Bostonians, American Color, and American Color 2. Manos lives in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Quantuck Lane Press; 1st edition (July 15, 2010). 12.1 x 0.8 x 9.3 inches.
