Riassunto

Originally published in 1973, this classic survey of The Museum of Modern Art's Photography Collection explores the fascinating evolution of the photographic medium using specific examples to illustrate its development. In concise, often witty analyses, John Szarkowski investigates the aesthetic, formal, social, and historical issues of one hundred photographs selected from 'the Modern's' collections. This archive of pictures contains a vast range of works from familiar and not-so-familiar photographers. Included are some the of most recognisable pictures of the past 150 years by acknowledged masters of their field such as Adamson, Cameron, Stieglitz, Weston, Cartier-Bresson, Cunningham, Arbus and Frank.

This 1999 reissue, with new separations using the latest technology, brings this remarkable book back to a new generation.
