In association with the Heirs of W. Eugene Smith, Aperture is honored to present this portfolio of five hand-pulled dust-grain photogravures of Smith’s most memorable images. The strength of Smith’s legendary photographic essays is founded on the dramatic power contained within his single images—each frame a masterpiece of expressive composition and lighting. In the tradition of our classic hand-pulled dust-grain photogravure portfolios from Paul Strand, Alfred Stieglitz, and Edward Steichen, we offer the opportunity to experience firsthand the genius of W. Eugene Smith’s images. Smith’s unsurpassed ability to distill truth and compassion into a single photograph is evident in each of the images featured in this portfolio. Printed by master photogravure printer Jon Goodman, this portfolio is sold in a cloth-covered clamshell case featuring text, letterpressed by hand, written and signed by Kevin Smith, son of the late photographer. 1.
