Summary:
In addition to an overview of Shulman's career and photographic oeuvre, this book emphasizes Shulman's method of 'constructing' photographic views. These constructions, which complemented his innate ability to compose striking photographs, often transcend reality to capture the spirit, time, and place of a work of architecture.

Summary:
In addition to an overview of Shulman's career and photographic oeuvre, this book emphasizes Shulman's method of 'constructing' photographic views. These constructions, which complemented his innate ability to compose striking photographs, often transcend reality to capture the spirit, time, and place of a work of architecture. An analysis of architecture's visual presentation examines not only the media of the era, John Entenza's Arts & Architecture, for instance, but also the work of Shulman's photographic contemporaries.

Summary:
Lazar Markovich Lissitzky is widely known as a Russian avant-garde artist who made significant contributions to abstract art in the 1920s. Until now his experiments with photography, photomontage, and graphic and exhibition designs in the 1920s and throughout the 1930s have not been documented and thoroughly analyzed. This book explores both the political and aesthetic aspects of Lissitzky's late multimedia work from his designs for the Abstract Cabinet to his death in 1941. The author and the two contributors give special attention to Lissitzky's intense collaboration first with German and then with Soviet photographers, designers, and filmmakers, and they discuss how his various personal friendships and acquaintances influenced the directions he took in photography and design. The book presents photographic works by Lissitzky and these other artists as well as some of Lissitzky's early non-objective art that foreshadows his experiments in figurative art. It also includes Lissitzky's correspondence with his Western colleagues and his wife Sophie Kueppers. This book will accompany an exhibition of Lissitzky's photographic works at the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, and Fondaçao de Serralves, Porto.

Camille Solyagua’s photographs of natural history function within a tradition of “Wunderkammers,”cabinets of natural curiousities brought together by visual analogies. Benevolent Pleasures of Sight presents a comprehensive selection of Solyagua’s photographs in an edition of 1000 numbered copies. Robert Sobiezek’s introduction discusses how Solyagua’s work unites an 18th-century notion of extraordinary eccentricities with a Surrealist concept of convulsive beauty, while Ruth Bernhard writes of her own deeply felt response to Solyagua’s imagery.
