Sarah Greenough, Joel Snyder, David Travis, Colin Westerbeck Hrsg.One of the best surveys of the history of photography. "This exhibition catalogue is a departure from previous surveys and reexamines the history of photography as art in light of the significant historical research and criticism of the past decade. Published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the invention of photography (described by Fox Talbot as "the art of fixing a shadow") this book celebrates the significant accomplishments in the history of the medium.""The images ranged in date from 1839 to 1989 and were by around 221 photographers. The exhibition was organized in sections: Inventing Photography The Pencil of Nature (1839-1879), The Curious Contagion of the Camera (1880-1918), Ephemeral Truths (1919-1945), and Beyond the Photographic Frame (1946-present). Includes an exhibition checklist, bibliographies of the artists, bibliography, glossary and index." This Catalogue is new, in the shrink or.-wrap of the publisher, only the dust jacket is somewhat yellowed on the edge. This is a heavy and oversized book and will eventually require extra shipping expenses.
