About This Item
At one point, "What looked like bad news quickly turned to the Newall's advantage, however, and led to Beaumont's development of his world-renowned 'History of Photography' and to his becoming founding curator of the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House."
Focus is a warm, witty and wise look back at a life rich with experiences and friends. The list of people who worked with and cared about Newhall reads like a who's who of twentieth century photography. Many are represented by photographs taken by Beaumont or Nancy Newhall or by works of their own, some previously unpublished.
"As a look at the development of the practice and appreciation of photography in this century, 'Focus' is unequaled, as a glimpse into the formation of a connoisseur it is remakable; and as a work of eloquent, warm prose it will take its place among the great autobiographies of our times."
