 20th
Century Photography: A Complete Guide to the Greatest Artists
of the Photographic Age
Twentieth Century Photography is an indispensable and comprehensive
guide to over 70 of the world's best-known photographers, from
the pioneers of the early part of the century to the experimental
artists who will take us into the future. Arranged in alphabetical
order by photographer, each entry contains a selection of sumptuous
reproductions of some of the photographer's most interesting
and representative works. In addition there is an incisive appreciation
of each of these most well-known or ground-breaking artists,
including the technical background to their pictures, and a
key facts panel detailing biographical details and the development
of each photographer's career. History
Of Photography.
 The
Photography Book
The concept for this book is simple: 500 photographers, 500
pages. Arranged alphabetically, each of the photographers, from
contemporary Dutch cameraman Hans Aarsman to mid-20th-century
New York snap-happy James Van Der Zee, gets a full, oversized
page. On it is a large, expertly reproduced image and a concise
caption packed with information about the photographer and his
or her work. The coincidental alignment of photos of different
eras and aesthetic sensibilities provides unusual and exciting
contrasts that add an extra dimension to readers' perception
of the work. Rineke Dijkstra's colour-saturated shot of a bikini-clad
beachgoer in South Carolina faces a Mike Disfarmer portrait
of a rural Arkansas couple in 1943. Imogen Cunningham's inimitable
Nude is here, along with a more surprising image, My Mother,
Bolton Abbey, and Yorkshire, a colour-photo collage by painter
David Hockney. History
