In a groundbreaking approach, this book presents photography in all its principal forms of experience, aiming to capture the unique characteristics of this accessible and universally appealing medium.
Arranged chronologically, legendary photographs are discussed alongside photobooks that have made significant contributions to the field, as well as important exhibitions that have shifted perspectives, values, and approaches. In the realm of art history, specific works are often cited as examples of specific styles. However, in this book, photographs are presented as indicative of art movements, which often developed precisely because of these examples.
Among the works included are many that have had a profound impact worldwide, challenging or at least weakening the usual European-American emphasis. This guide is an inclusive and diverse account of the contributions of photographers from around the world, spanning from the birth of photography to the present day.
Featuring stunning reproductions throughout, accompanied by short essays and key references on each work by the widely respected photography academic and specialist David Bate, this title is set to become one of the definitive references on the subject, appealing to readers seeking an introduction as well as those with more familiarity with the medium.
With 110 illustrations in color, this book offers a visual feast that enhances the understanding and appreciation of photography in all its forms.
