Bruce Weber - Gentle Giants - Bulfinch 1994

Gentle Giants focuses almost entirely upon the Newfoundland breed and the owners, trainers and breeders who hold them dear. B.W. photographed these enormous dogs over the course of two years, at homes and kennels in Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Saskatchewan – even at the Colosseum, Villa Borghese gardens and Piazza Navona fountain in Rome. Interspersed with these photographs and interviews with the dogs’ adoring owners are essays by Bruce Weber and texts by Eugene O’Neill, Carl Sandburg, Zane Grey, James Baldwin, C.Z. Guest, Will James, Joseph Conrad, Lord Byron and Patti Smith.
