	Elliott Erwitt - S.K. Josefsberg Studio
		Elliott Erwitt studied photography at Los Angeles City College (1942-1944) and shortly thereafter began to support himself shooting weddings and babies, in addition to other odd jobs at the local soda fountain and bakery.
		Erwitt’s initial claim to fame stemmed from his image of the "kitchen debate"—Nikita Khruschev and Richard Nixon arguing in front of a Westinghouse refrigerator at the American exhibition in Moscow in 1959.
		Elliott Erwitt’s images are much adored for their levity, juxtaposition of characters—especially man and animal—and anecdotal moments.

	Profile: Elliott Erwitt \| Review \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Erwitt has also produced a huge body of diverse work, from famed portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Simone de Beauvoir to the infamous "Kitchen Debate" picture of Nixon and Khrushchev engaged in a vigorous argument, to photo-essays from South America and eastern Europe.
		Elliott Erwitt was born Elio Romano Erwitz in Paris on July 26, 1928.
		It was here that some of Erwitt's most intimate portraits were taken, a collection that remains to this day one of his best: the heavily pregnant Louie lying asleep on the bed with two kittens; or prostrate, with her belly protruding.

	Amazon.fr : Dog dogs (en anglais): Livres: Elliott Erwitt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Erwitt writes in his introduction, "This is not a book of dog pictures but of dogs in pictures." It is the photograph that counts, above and beyond its subject, for the photographer of genius.
		But Erwitt is bound to be called a sentimentalist because he photographs dogs, whom we, in our species-centric way, tend to think of as, well, animals.
		Erwitt sees the dignity of the ankle-high Chihuahua; the anxiety of the homeless hound; the smugness of the adored dachshund, sitting on its chaise longue in the noonday sun; the patience of the pom-pommed poodle; and the gormless joy of a homely but well-loved pug.

		In Cambodia, Erwitt finds quiet beauty in the jungle-bound ruins of the temple of Angkor Wat, but he also visits the present, in the form of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, where photographs of thousands of slaughtered Cambodian citizens pack the walls, from floor to ceiling.
		As always, Erwitt's ultimate subject is the human condition, captured with gentleness, intelligence and compassion, this time in a context that narrows his scope a bit, but not much.
		There are countless characteristically mischievous moments here: a middle-aged couple pores over the Clouet painting of two topless women--one the king's mistress preparing for her bath and the other her sister, tweaking her nipple.

		What strikes you first about Elliott Erwitt is how much more intimidating his work is than he is. After all, Erwitt has been celebrated in one-man shows at the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Royal Photographic Society in Bath.
		Four years later Erwitt's work was featured in Edward Steichen's legendary Museum of Modern Art exhibition, Family of Man. At the time, photography was still struggling for respect as an art form, and many of Erwitt's contemporaries responded with pictures that were painstakingly composed and overly formal.
		Erwitt, on the other hand, reveled unselfconsciously in spontaneity and whimsy; his shots were refreshingly funny and real.

		In Erwitt's classic image, California, 1955, the reflection of a couple kissing in a parked car's side mirror is like a joyful bubble against a Pacific ocean sunset.
		Erwitt said of Monroe, "Physically she was surprisingly unattractive; the beauty was manufactured.

		Steichen included several of Erwitt's pictures in MoMA's monumental 1955 "Family of Man" show, Stryker hired him as a staff photographer and Capa promised a membership at Magnum after Erwitt's two-year Army hitch.
		Since then, Erwitt has kept true to his roots, eschewing color photography, outside of client work, for the classic nuances of the fl-and-white palette.
		While it can be argued that all photographs are manipulated (photographs are altered in the traditional darkroom process, photographers emphasize certain compositional elements over others and so forth), Erwitt's passion for the direct gaze and decisive moment, unmediated by further calculation, is his trademark.

	Photographer shows depth of focus / Elliott Erwitt's work ranges from news to dog portraiture
		New York photographer Elliott Erwitt, 73, distinguishes between his commercial work, for employers such as the elite Magnum agency, and his "hobby work," which others call his art.
		That may change with the publication of his latest book, a huge volume titled "Elliott Erwitt: Snaps" (Phaidon; 543 pages; $69.95), whose publication the Koch show celebrates.
		Erwitt happened to be there on an advertising, not a news assignment, but he reacted with journalistic reflexes, aided by a fluency in Russian that let him follow both sides of the conversation.

		But the beauty of the collection is the real value Erwitt gives the dogs as subjects--they are not accessories to enhance cutesie pictures, nor companions for a human centrepiece; rather the focal point of his attention.
		According to him, it just happened that way: one day, when he was looking through his boxes of photographs, he realized that somehow or other a fair proportion of them contained dogs and their owners.
