Summary:
Photomontage was pioneered as a technique in central Europe in the 1910s, where it flourished as an art form through the end of World War II. While German artists such as John Heartfield, Max Ernst and Hannah Hoch used the medium to respond to the atrocities of war, other areas of Europe were simultaneously experiencing a newfound political autonomy as the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed. For these artists, namely Polish and Czech, photomontage manifested itself in a Surrealist approach to cut-and-paste imagery that emphasized its potential for visual poetry. "Photo/Montage in Print" traces the explosion of photomontage art in book cover design and illustrated magazines in the interwar period. Documenting the remarkable contributions of Czech artists in the creation of the visual language of modern print media, the publication includes some of the leading artists of the Czech avant garde such as Karel Teige, Jindrich Styrsky, Toyen, Ladislav Sutnar and Frantisek Muzika.

Posed usually with his owners in domestic settings, for years the lack of light and camera limitations make the dog appear as a vague blob. Only at the book's uplifting conclusion does the family's equipment and technique match their ambition, as their pet is finally captured in all his glory, illustrating a tale of optimism and perseverance.

Summary:
La street photography connaît aujourd'hui un renouveau sans précédent. À travers le portrait de 46 photographes actuels, les auteurs de ce livre nous donnent à voir le meilleur de la création contemporaine dans un domaine qui n'a cessé depuis Gary Winogrand, Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson et Robert Frank - quatre des plus grands noms de la photographie de rue - de fasciner photographes, écrivains et un public amateurs d'"instants décisifs ". Toute la magie, la poésie, la beauté mais aussi le comique et le tragique de nos vies urbaines sont révélés par ces photographes capables en une fraction de seconde de rendre compte avec une rare éloquence de la complexité de la condition humaine. A travers quatre essais abordant les grandes thématiques de la street photography et une conversation menée entre plusieurs des principaux protagonistes du genre, les auteurs montrent à quel point la photographie de rue soulève de nombreuses questions passionnantes. Graves, dérisoires, drôles, émouvantes, captivantes, les photographies rassemblées ici affirment de manière éclatante que la street photography est aussi riche et protéiforme que l'homme de la rue - pour qui sait voir et regarder.
