Herman V Wall: Standing on One Leg - Paperback

In a career spanning six decades, Herman V Wall was recognized for his photographic skills as one of the best of the 20th century. There is something essential and compelling in his photos, whether the renowned D-Day landing pictures (the first to be seen by the American public) or the delicacy of his signature flower photographs. He perfected a blending of artistic intuition with the technical skills required for award-winning images. Thanks to the persistence of his wife, Ruth Hawks Wall, and his daughter, Katherine Wall Panatone, a unique archive of photos, correspondence, awards, and genealogical details have been preserved. Over one hundred of these items are published in this book, many for the first time.
