| The little girl with a rose
in her hands. The boy in his father's tie and top hat. Holding hands,
leaning over for a kiss, stepping off a train. And serenading with a
violin. Evoking innocence, fantasy, mischief, and the pleasures of the
imagination, this is the stuff of Kim Anderson's universally loved
photographs. An artists who specializes in capturing moments of children
at play, Kim Anderson speaks to our inner sense of wonder and nostalgia,
and gives an uncomplicated pleasure to millions of people.
The first and only comprehensive compilation of Kim Anderson's work,
The Art of Kim Anderson brings together in an oversize art book over 200
of the photographer's best-loved images as well as many new ones. Here,
carefully reproduced, are the hand-colored photographs that delight
enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
More than a tribute in pictures, The Art of Kim Anderson is also a
celebration of spirit--the spirit of childhood, the spirit of an artist.
Divided into thematic chapters on First Love, Thoughts, Friendship, and
more, it features original essays by Francine Prose, Perri Klass, Susan
Cheever, Phillip Lopate, and other well-known authors.
Seeing life again as if through a child's eyes--this is the joy of
Kim Anderson |
