356 pages, very well illustrated, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. From the dj: "Total Picture Control ils ot a textbook for beginners. Rather, it is a critical analysis of the means and methods by which experienced photographers influence and control the outcome of their pictures. The emphasis is on light, color, contrast, perspective, motion and mood, which makes this a rather sophisticated book addressed to students who are familiar with basic photographic techniques." From the University of Richmond Museums website: 'Born in Paris and raised in Germany, Feininger was influenced by the Bauhaus, where his father, artist Lyonel Feininger, taught prior to World War II. By the 1920s, the younger Feininger had already established several stylistic traits in his photographic work, such as monumentalized subject matter and emphasis on line. His nature photographs tend to reveal patterns in animal and plant forms as found in the backbones of a snake or veins in a leaf. After immigrating to America in 1939, Feininger completed almost 350 photographic essays for Life magazine between 1943 and 1962.'
