Binding tight and solid. Bendavid-Val, a senior editor at National Geographic who curated this traveling exhibit with the support of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Russian Ministry of Culture, and the Library of Congress, has assembled a memorable collection of images: proud young women marching in a Moscow sports parade, a rifle pointing out from between Byzantine icons, a mantle clock serving as the most ornate headstone in a South Carolina graveyard, and uniformed children in gas masks. Among the 250 black-and-white photographs collected here, most come from the wonderful lenses of Americans Dorothea Lange, Arthur Rothstein, and Russell Lee and Ukranian Boris Ignatovich. Accompanying this large-format social commentary is a thought-provoking text, written for the exhibit. The lack of an index, however, makes it difficult to track works by the 33 Soviet and 19 American photographers, and only 40 of the contributing photographers are included in a selected biographies section. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 224 pages.
