Mono: Black & White Photographic Album of New York
ISBN: 9781463414023 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The gleam, the glitter, the grandeur of the soaring metropolis remain as powerful as ever; we feel only that with the saturated hues of the landscape removed, the lines, the forms and the geometry find greater room to assert themselves, their interplay rising to meet the eye all the more clearly.
