A photo book "A Dialogue with Solitude" by American photographer Dave Heath. Born in Philadelphia in 1931, his father abandoned his family when Heath was one and disappeared, and his mother abandoned Heath when he was four and disappeared with his parents. Heath's boyhood, when his grandparents refused to accept Heath and were raised in a depressed family and an orphanage. After being drafted to South Korea, a few years after Yasuhiro Ishimoto, he moved to Chicago's New Bowhouse. There, he learned photography from Aaron Siskind and others, and later became friends with Eugene Smith. Heath's photography is full of sharpened sense of smell and deep humanity. The Japanese translation of the title is "Dialogue with loneliness." "Solitude" is often the theme of many photographers, but Heath's loneliness has a different weight. There are moments of joy and happiness in life, but of course we also experience sadness and despair, and Heath's plates tell us how to accept such tragic aspects. This is a reprinted version of a valuable collection of works that has been out of print for a long time since the first edition was published in 1965.
