Love

In this evocative collection of 150 black-and-white photographs, culled from an international selection of artists, including Bruce Davidson, Elliot Erwitt, Leonard Freed, and Mary Ellen Mark, we are reminded of the many faces and meanings of love. Each image conveys its own expression of the term, while reminding the viewer of the universality of this most human of experiences. Birth, familial love, brotherhood, romance, broken hearts : these are our stories, all brought to life in a powerful moment on film.

The photographs are accompanied by piquant quotations from a selection of novelist and poets – D.H. Lawrence, Rainer-Maria Rilke, Friedrich Nietzsche, Pablo Neruda, Jane Smiley, and Susan Minot, to name a few- whose own works are among the most memorable on the subject.

As this gorgeous volume of photography proves, love continues to be an inexhaustible subject for the world’s most talented photographers. In every page, every reader will see themselves reflected, because love in all of its facets and incarnations is truly universal.
