Portrait: November 2007 Archives

Book Review: Theatre of the Face by Max Kozloff

|

From the Guardian:

It is significant that the photographers Kozloff includes are often a good deal more famous than their sitters. There are taxi drivers and barmaids here, sailors and majorettes, hustlers, sharecroppers and vagrants. Teenagers and prostitutes outnumber statesmen. Kozloff favours anonymous faces and everyday locations: he makes room for discarded strips of photo booth portraits, but not for the celebrated sitters of Karsh, Bailey, Leibovitz or Testino.
