Duane Michals

Vintage paperback coffee table book studying words and images by Duane Michals. By Parachute Publications, published in 1998. First edition, 82 pages.

"American photographer Duane Michals, now in his mid-sixties, has distinguished himself for more than thirty years with his highly original approach to the medium and with his refusal to limit himself to the rules prescribed by others. Inspired as much by literature, poetry, philosophy, the cinema and the history of painting as by the possibilities of the camera itself, he has created an intimate art through which he communicates his ideas about life and death, desire and memory and countless other topics usually thought to be beyond the province of photography."
