Description
Summary:Marseille is a love letter from an American to France's oldest and second largest city. Joan Liftin's photographs of Marseille, one of Europe's most ethnically diverse cities, show us a place where much of life still unfolds on the street. The city's spirit and raffish glamour resides in its people rather than in its monuments, and Liftin captures day and nighttime encounters, moments of quiet beauty, allusions to corrosive crime and poverty and the diverse heartbeat of this soulful Mediterranean port city. Her photographs offer us an honest, intimate vision of Marseille, at once timeless and passionately alive.
