Lisette ModelLisette Model

“Lisette Model” is an unsurpassed introduction to one of the twentieth century’s most significant photographers–a woman whose searing images and eloquent teachings deeply influenced her students Diane Arbus, Larry Fink and many others. This timeless volume contains more than 50 of Model's greatest images, from the rich idlers on the Promenade des Anglais in the South of France to the sad, funny and often eccentric inhabitants of New York's most subterranean haunts. As Berenice Abbott said in her preface, "One of the first reactions when looking at Model's pictures is that they make you feel good. You recognize them as real because real people express a bit of the universal humanity in all of us."
