American Modern explores the reinvention of documentary photography in the 1930s, focusing on the work of three iconic figures. It identifies the points where Abbott, Evans, and Bourke-White connected, diverged, and competed, and demonstrates how commercial and governmental commissions, the influence of mass media, the establishment of public institutions of modern art, and international theories of photography all intersected to establish the now-dominant documentary style.

Summary:
Examining the revolution in photography that took place across Europe between 1918 and 1945, this survey orients its examination around three cities, each of which served as a nexus for major developments in the medium: Prague, Paris and Barcelona. Until the First World War, photography had largely followed the aesthetics of painting. During and after the war, such movements as Constructivism and Surrealism led photography to new frontiers, developing techniques and styles that explored the medium strictly on its own terms.

Summary:
En septembre 1925, à New York, un immigrant d’origine russe, Anatol Josepho, installe le premier studio photo entièrement automatisé. Une petite cabine où il est possible de réaliser et d’obtenir des portraits d’identités sans l’intervention d’un photographe : « 8 photos en 8 minutes pour 25 cents ». Le Photomaton est né. Le procédé est simple. Le succès est immédiat. Très vite le procédé va être détourné de son usage premier, et ouvrir un nouveau champ à l'improvisation, à la détente, au laisser-aller et à l'expression artistique. Séquencé en trois grands thèmes, Origines et Photographie identitaire, Arts, Détournements, ce livre dresse un inventaire du photomaton et de ses variations artistiques en y mêlant autoportraits de célébrités et d’anonymes. Le photomaton, marque commerciale devenue désignation générique au même titre que « frigidaire », a irréversiblement modifié la perception que nous avons de notre propre image, comme en témoigne l’intérêt qu’il a suscité et suscite toujours auprès de nombreux artistes mais aussi du grand public !

Summary:
The range of photographic vision in the National Gallery’s collection of 19th Century French photographs is vast. The collection extends from topographical photographers who made little pretense to art but, because of the sensitivity and skill produced work that transcends the original purpose, to those who considered themselves as artists and the photographs they produced as art. With over 200 illustrations, this abundantly illustrated publication features an original essay on the development of photography in 19th Century France as well as sixty-six individual presentations. Among the dozens of photographers discussed are Eugène Atget, Edouard Baldus, Maxime Du Camp, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Nègre, and Auguste Salzmann. James Borcoman is the Curator Emeritus of Photographs for the National Gallery and the author of several books including monographs on Eugène Atget and Yousuf Karsh. After Modernist Photographs from the National Gallery of Canada, this is the second publication in a series devoted to the Gallery's photography collection.
