{"product_id":"ed-clark-on-assignment","title":"Ed Clark: On Assignment","description":"Drawn from Ed Clark's extensive personal archive of photographs,  negatives, contact sheets and scrapbooks, these three volumes reveal  the work of a key fi  gure from the golden age of American photojour- nalism. From the pageantry of politics to the rhythms of small-town  life, from movie stars to the working class, Clark covered the defi  ning  personalities and events of his age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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  The Tennessean  newspaper in Nashville,  and went on to work for 22 years for  Life  magazine. He photographed  many of  Life '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 confl  ict 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe days were never long enough for me while on assignment.
