Les Hébrides: Pays de l'herbe sous le vent

Lausanne: Éditions Clairefontaine, 1962. First French language edition. Hardcover. Quarto. 151, [1]pp. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over grey cloth with black lettering on spine and front cover. This volume features Paul Strand's 105 beautifully sequenced photographs taken from his 1954 visit to the rugged island of South Uist, off the west coast of Scotland. Juxtaposing people and the landscape, these staggering beautiful images depict the timeless complicity he saw between humankind and nature in this wild terrain. In the spirit of La France de Profil and Un Pases: Portrait of an Italian Valley, these meditative photographs celebrate the wholesome beauty of everyday life. Whether it is a view of rocks and the sea, of scudding clouds hanging over a seaside hamlet, or the proud figure of an earthbound fisherman before his stone cottage, Strand's transcendent images render the island and its inhabitants timeless and eternal. Age wear on dust-jacket with rubbing and sporadic creasing along edges, and head and tail of spine taped at verso. Some abrasion on spine. Moderate age-toning along paper margin. Text in French. Dust-jacket in overall fair, binding in very good, interior in good+ condition. g. Item #36478
