Assouline"Father and Child" Book by Claiborne Swanson Frank

Following the success of her previous book, Mother and Child, renowned photographer and author Claiborne Swanson Frank explores the essence of modern fatherhood in the twenty-first century in her latest body of work, Father and Child, in which she turns her lens on more than fifty iconic father-child families, including Eli Manning, Craig Melvin, Jimmy Chin, Wes Gordon, Tommy Haas, James Van Der Beek, Rashid Johnson, Kevin Love, Brunello Cucinelli, and Tony Romo among many others.

Swanson Frank’s stunning portraits capture the emotional bonds and beauty that define the profound relationship between a father and his child. Each page features ethereal portraits paired with quotes that are heartfelt, amusing, and deeply personal, as each father shares his intimate experiences of fatherhood through moving stories and insights. The fathers come from various walks of life—pro athletes, artists, filmmakers, designers, musicians, journalists, authors—creating a rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives. These intimate and stunning portraits will captivate and inspire readers as they embark on a profound journey that reminds us of the power of fatherhood and the great gift of love.

About Assouline
We created this company to be the first luxury brand on culture. We wanted to supply everything for a contemporary library; we started working with top perfumers for scented candles, with Goyard for a book trunk, with Chanel on a quilted leather slipcase, and so on. Now we are expanding the Assouline lifestyle brand in stores in the most important cities of the world. We love and believe in books more than everything else, but we also want to extend our vision to create all that can be expected in a chic and personalized library, from beautiful books and special editions to luxury gift items, unique library accessories, and now a complete turnkey collection of stylish furniture. Our digital world goes faster than ever and nothing remains of it, but books are a solid part of our past and present. They are also beautiful. For us, books are a matter of intellect and emotion; heritage and innovation. Information is not only about today, and the past is a sensational source of inspiration.
