Description

Bruce Davidson, intrepid explorer of the urban terrain, has taken on a project of extraordinary visual and metaphorical scope. His approach to Central Park's wildlife—human and otherwise—varies as much in format as it does in emotional quality; Davidson discovers a multiplicity of mysteries, eccentricities, and characters—a microcosm of the remarkable city of which Central Park is the heart.

"Here is a celebration of place through people. Davidson by no means slights the poetry of the land in Frederick Olmstead and Calvert Vaux's masterpiece at the heart of Manhattan. But by exploring the park through human faces and bodies, the photographer succeeds brilliantly in presenting viewers with the democratic haven its creators envisioned in comparatively innocent times a century and more ago." —The Chicago Tribune
