Herman V Wall

In a career spanning six decades Herman V Wall was recognized for his photographic skills as one of the best of the 20th century. There is something essential and compelling in his photos whether the renowned D-Day landing pictures (the first to be seen by the American public) or the delicacy of his signature flower photographs. He perfected a blending of artistic intuition with the technical skills required for award-winning images.. Thanks to the persistence of his wife Ruth Hawks Wall and his daughter Katherine Wall Panatone a unique archive of photos correspondence awards and genealogical details have been preserved. Over one hundred of these items are published in this book many for the first time.
