STUMP by Christopher Anderson. First edition first impression. Large format paperback in new condition. No markings. This is a brand new book. Please see pictures. PayPal accepted, any questions please get in touch. About STUMP As one of today’s most influential political photographers, Christopher Anderson has enjoyed rare behind-the-scenes access to the inner workings of American political theater. Stump collects his color and black-and-white photographs from recent campaign trails. As well as from the 2012 Obama/Romney contest--that scrutinize the highly rehearsed rhetorical masks. Removed from the context of reportage and sequenced here, these images accumulate a mesmerizing quality that is both frightening and hilarious. They are interspersed with other campaign-trail images, of fireworks, flags and other props of high pomp that attend such occasions. John Heilemann, author of the New York Times bestseller Game Change (on the 2008 presidential race), contributes an essay on Anderson’s work.
