Assouline Mother and Child

In the latest body of work by author and photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank set out to explore what modern motherhood means in the 21st century. With her lens on 70 iconic families of mothers and children of famous names such as Delfina Figueras, Carolina Herrera, Lauren Santo Domingo, Anne Vyalitsyna, Aerin Lauder and Patti Hansen, Swanson Frank's stunning portraits capture the emotional bonds and beauty that frame the primal relationship of a mother and her child. Her work is complemented by a series of questions and answers, in which Swanson Frank subtly directs each mother to look inside themselves and express what being a mother really means to them. Their answers, while extraordinarily thoughtful and introspective, are also funny, fascinating and moving. Each of these highly intimate and stunning portraits will captivate and inspire readers as they embark on this profound journey that reminds us of the power of motherhood and the great gift of love.
