New York: Rizzoli Intl Pubns, 2001 "A collection by William Abranowicz, The Greek File captures the essence of Greece - an alluring country where life itself is stripped down to its most essential components and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. From a single white cloud floating in a clear sky to a wrinkled linen shirt drying in the sun to shores dotted with throngs of buildings like pebbles washed in from the sea, Abranowicz's work elevates simple everyday objects to objects of austere beauty. These photographs capture the many facets of the Greek islands: their serenity, exceptional light, and arresting art and architecture.: New in original shrink wrap.. Hard Cover. New/New.
