摘要

Kalisher (Railroad Men) began his career as a photojournalist in 1948 and eventually embraced photography as an art form independent of journalism. Most of the 63 black-and-white images included here show people on the streets of New York City in the 1960s. The book opens with a brief, conversational introduction by art critic Luc Sante and is thereafter devoted entirely to the images. No titles, dates, descriptive text, or other information about the photographs is available. In Kalisher's afterword, he describes his career and his intent in composing this book-to order the photographs in such a way that they might convey a message.
