Elliott Erwitt is celebrated for his candid, often humorous black-and-white photographs that capture the subtleties of human nature and everyday life. His work spans a wide range of subjects, from personal, intimate moments to significant historical events, always marked by his sharp attention to detail and his ability to find warmth and wit in ordinary scenes. Dogs are a recurring subject in Erwitt's photography, often portrayed with the same empathy and humor he applies to his human subjects, capturing their personalities and quirks in a charming and relatable way. – Corners slightly bumped, some very light handling creases and scuff marks, otherwise in very good condition.
