'Facing one's own' / Henri Peretz -- Notes on the photographs / Margaret Walters.
"Family is a poetic exploration of the universal theme of family, a subject which has had a long connection with photography since the medium began in the nineteenth century. Curated by Sophie Spencer-Wood, this book is a collection of 175 photographs taken by photographers, famous and lesser known, of their own families. It is an intimate study of the relationships - tender and awkward, knowing and innocent - that take place between adults and children in the family unit. Recognizable and relevant to us all, these emotions are linked in a symphonic sequence moving from one photographer to the next. With an introduction by Henri Peretz and notes on the photographs by Margaret Walters, Family draws on the same impulses that compel us all to take pictures of our own families."--BOOK JACKET.
