In the Picture: Self-Portraits by Lee Friedlander

Lee Friedlander (b. 1934) has been tackling the challenge of self-portraiture throughout his prolific career. What began as an unorthodox investigation of the genre has become a masterful engagement spanning five decades. A new book of self portraits, entitled In The Picture: Self Portraits, 1958-2011, includes hundreds of previously unpublished pictures.  Produced to the highest production standards and featuring over 400 duotone imagesβ€”from his first self-portraits, taken with cable release in hand, to recent images of the photographer with his family and extended network of friendsβ€”In the Picture explores Friedlander’s various guises throughout a rich and colorful life.
