From the pageantry of politics to the rhythms of small-town life, from movie stars to the working class, Clark covered the defining personalities and events of his age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEd Clark is one of the twentieth century's most fascinating and important \"unknown\" photographers. A gifted photojournalist, Clark began his career in 1929 with \u003ci\u003eThe Tennessean\u003c\/i\u003e newspaper in Nashville, and went on to work for 22 years for \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. He photographed many of \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e's most important assignments during the period of the magazine's greatest cultural impact; Clark's images helped shape a nation's sense of itself and the world. His vast range of subjects includes the Nuremberg war crimes trials, the conflict over civil rights in the late 1940s and early '50s, Hollywood stars and the movie industry of the '50s, the people and arts of the Soviet Union, and the White House during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. Through Clark's eyes, we witness some of the central episodes and themes of the post-war world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe days were never long enough for me while on assignment. I still love holding a camera, looking through the lens to see what I can see.\u003c\/i\u003e — Ed Clark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCo-published with the Meserve-Kunhardt Foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice is introductory until 1st September\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430653182188,"sku":"9783958295063","price":365.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783958295063.jpg?v=1774558898","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/ed-clark-on-assignment-by-ed-clark-9783958295063","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
