Joel Meyerowitz : where I find myself : a lifetime retrospective /
Where I Find Myself' is the first major single book retrospective of one of America's leading photographers. It is organized in inverse chronological order and spans the photographer's whole career to date: from Joel Meyerowitz's most recent picture all the way back to the first photograph he ever took. The book covers all of Joel Meyerowitz's great projects: his work inspired by the artist Morandi, his work on trees, his exclusive coverage of Ground Zero, his trips in the footsteps of Robert Frank across the US, his experiments comparing color and black and white pictures, and of course his iconic street photography work. Joel Meyerovitz is incredibly eloquent and candid about how photography works or doesn't, and this should be an inspiration to anyone interested in photography.

Câezanne's objects : Joel Meyerowitz
Some years ago, while working on a book commission about Provence, Joel Meyerowitz visited Câezanne's studio in Aix-en-Provence. While there, he experienced a flash of understanding about Câezanne's art. Câezanne had painted the studio walls a dark gray, mixing the color himself. Consequently, every object in the studio seemed to be absorbed into the gray of the background. There were no tell-tale reflections around the edges of the objects, so there was nothing that could separate them from the background itself. Meyerowitz suddenly saw how Câezanne, making his small, patch-like brush marks, moved from the object to the background, and back again to the objects, without the illusion of perspective. After all, Câezanne was the original voice of 'flatness.' Meyerowitz decided to take each of the objects in Câezanne's studio and view them against the gray wall (managing to obtain permission from the Director of the Atelier no-one had touched these objects in ages). His impulse was to place each one in the exact same spot on his marble-topped table and just make a 'dumb' record of it. He then decided to arrange them in rows, almost as if they were back on his shelf above the table, and made a grid of five rows with five objects on each row, with Câezanne's hat as the centerpiece.
