Max, John — Open Passport

Toronto, Impressions, 1973. Signed and Inscribed by the Artist to a Previous Owner. Paperback. Black wraps with white lettering; [96] pp.; chiefly illustrations. [John] Max was championed during the 1960s and 1970s by the National Film Board of Canada, through its Still Photography Division, and the National Gallery of Canada, through a variety of exhibition and publication projects. Gradually abandoning photojournalism during the 1960s, he focused his work on photographic art exhibitions and publications. His best-known work, Open Passport (exhibited 1972–1976; published 1973) is a long sequence that combined photographs from diverse sources shot over the span of a decade into a unified, poetical narrative. -- Wikipedia.
