"Now for the first time ever, here is a volume that chronicles the pictures and writings of Arthur Rothstein, one of the most outstanding photojournalists of our time. ln addition to portraying Rothstein's life in photography, Words and Pictures presents his photographs, which have been praised as "demonstrations of photojournalism at its best - in the wide variety of subjects, in the brilliance of interpretation, and in the consistent technical quality..." For the first time, Rothstein presents his previously unpublished photos taken in China during and after World War Il. According to Rothstein, the most effective documentary photographs are filled with such compelling truth that they move the viewer to action. He delineates his experience with cameras, lenses, lighting, filters, and film and shows how to use them to make a photograph stand alone, have impact, and carry a message. Rothstein imparts his knowledge of the characteristics of the photographic process with simplicity and candor. Pointers are offered that will help the reader put into practice the systematic methods that distinguish Rothstein as one of the most talented, socially responsible photojournalists in the history of the medium. Included are such thought-provoking writings as "What Photography Owes to the Amateur," which appeared in Popular Photography; "Photojournalism: Its First 100 Years," from the New York Times; and other articles drawn from sources such as Parade, Look, and Rothstein's lectures and books."
