This highly collectible volume represents the definitive second edition of Bruce Weber\u2019s monumental first monograph.

The Vision<\/h3>\n

  • Brothers<\/li>\n
  • Matt Dillon<\/li>\n
  • Notebook<\/li>\n
  • Lifeguards<\/li>\n

    Production Quality<\/h3>\n

Designed by John Cheim, the clean layout balances large full-page plates with striking negative space, making it a critical addition to any serious library of 20th-century photography.<\/p>\n
