Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. As Americans prepared for-and then entered-World War II, the nation was awash with government propaganda. Armed with his Graflex, Speed Graphic, and 35mm cameras, Alfred Palmer shot many of the images that appeared in these patriotic appeals. His photographs were used by the National Defense Advisory Commission, the Office for Emergency Management, the Office of War Information, the War Production Board, the War Shipping Administration, and the US Maritime Commission. Palmer's photographs were seen by millions of Americans and Europeans. His work reveals his technical prowess. He was masterful in his use of lighting and was a pioneer in the use of color photography. He brought a visual weapon to America's arsenal to counter Nazi propaganda. His images portray a country transformed into an economically wealthy, socially coherent, and energetic nation whose citizens-including women and ethnic minorities-were depicted as vitally important to the war effort. AUTHORS: Mary M. Cronin is a professor in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at New Mexico State University. The author of six previous books on various aspects of journalism history, she is most interested in studying press performance during wartime. Prior to her academic career, Cronin worked as a reporter, an assistant news editor, and as a copy editor at various newspapers. Bruce Berman has been a professional photographer for over five decades and works in the documentary style. His primary professional work has been done for the Christian Science Monitor, New York Times, Time, Newsweek, and other national and international publications. His personal work is oriented toward people in small communities and the land that surrounds them. Berman is as an associate professor at New Mexico State University where he teaches photojournalism. He asks his students, 'to use photography as an instrument of education, not self-expression, so that you will have a chance to matter.' He tries to follow that advice. 76 colour, 35 b/w illustrations Alfred Palmer was a prolific home front photographer whose work was used by numerous federal propaganda agencies during WWII. A master of lighting and an early adopter of color film, Palmer brought a visual weapon to America's arsenal-one that portrayed the US as economically wealthy, socially coherent, and energetic.
