Summary:
The landscape and people of the American Midwest have captivated photographer Terry Evans (b. 1944) throughout her forty-year photographic career. Evans has a deep connection to her native region, which she has explored from a variety of visual and thematic perspectives. Heartland traces the evolution of Evans’s vision, beginning in the early 1970s with her social documentary images of people in Kansas. She became a landscape photographer in 1978, focusing on the grasses, land, and skies of the prairie; this was followed by an aerial survey of the entire Great Plains, from Texas to Canada. She has also photographed Chicago from the air, an abandoned military site, small-town life in Kansas, and historical samples of prairie flora and fauna from Chicago’s Field Museum. More recently, she has documented the steel industry in the Midwest and oil and gas drilling in North Dakota. This illustrated book examines all of these works, which together reveal the enduring beauty of the prairie landscape.

Summary:
Only recently has Margaret Watkins (1884-1969) come to be cited in the annals of twentieth-century photography. She is remembered as a formidable teacher at New York's Clarence H. White School of Photography and as an active member of the Pictorial Photographers of America. But it is her photographs - now key works in the history of early advertising photography and classic examples of modernist photography - that have earned her special recognition within the history of the medium. Watkins unsettled the established art world of the time with images such as still-life studies of dirty dishes in a kitchen sink and a shower hose in a bathroom. This publication accompanies the first major retrospective exhibition of the work of Margaret Watkins with loans from major public and private collection.

Summary:
During a legendary career that spanned almost six decades, Czech photographer Josef Sudek, the “poet of Prague,” developed a craftsmanship and technical virtuosity that was unparalleled among his contemporaries. Early in his career, though the prevailing art movements of the 1920s and ’30s included cubism, surrealism, and the Czech avant-garde, Sudek sought his own approach characterized by a striking mastery of light. This book takes readers on a journey through Sudek’s life and work. Included here are essays by some of the renowned writers, including curator Maia-Mari Sutnik, photo-historian Antonín Dufek, Canadian Art editor Richard Rhodes, and photographer Geoffrey James.

Summary:
China’s spectacular growth has brought not just prosperity, but also serious damage to the environment. For photographer Andreas Seibert, the present state of the Huai River is a clear example of these problems. Several stretches of the river have been so seriously polluted by toxic waste that people are advised not to even touch the water. Seibert has traveled along the river from source to mouth in order to record how it changes from a stretch of water rising amidst unspoiled nature into a large and poisonous river. Pictures taken on his travels present the poor hinterlands which are generally forgotten in discussions on China, and show the people who live on and near the river — in a habitat on the brink of destruction.

Summary:
The Photographs of Ray K. Metzker brings his extraordinary work to the attention of a larger audience, summarizing his life and achievements over the past six decades. With a fresh perspective, curator and author Keith F. Davis explores the roots of Metzker's innovative vision, from his early interest in photojournalism through his studies with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at Chicago's Institute of Design in the late 1950s, and his bold innovations of the 1960s and 1970s. Metzker's work is richly diverse, embracing landscape, city scenes, and the expressive potential of the multiple image. These many themes are united by Metzker's technical precision and daring, and his graphic use of sunlight and shadow. He has repeatedly reinvented his approach to the medium, and this book testifies to the remarkable range and originality of his work.

Summary:
Depuis seulement quelques temps citons-nous Margaret Watkins (1884-1969) au sein des annales de la photographie du 20e siècle. La Clarence H. White School of Photography se souvient d'elle en tant que professeure mémorable, et le Pictoral Photographers of America (New York) en tant que membre actif et dynamique. Cela dit, ce sont ses photographies, désormais des oeuvres-clés des débuts de la photographie publicitaire et des exemples classiques de la photographie moderne, qui lui ont valu sa reconnaissance au sein de l'histoire de ce médium artistique. Watkins a perturbé les préconceptions du monde artistique de l'époque avec ses images de vaisselle sale dans un évier et du tuyau de douche dans une salle de bain. Encore plus surprenant pour certains fut la découverte que cette photographe qui a poussé les limites de la photographie moderne new-yorkaise des années 20 était Canadienne. Cette publication accompagne la première rétrospective d'importance des oeuvres - certaines prêtées de collections privées et publiques d'envergure - de Margaret Watkins. Avec près de 100 planches pleine-page, dont plusieurs n'ayant jamais été publiées, ainsi qu'un récit approfondi de la vie extraordinaire de Watkins, cette publication est une monographie nécessaire afin de découvrir l'oeuvre, une fois perdue, de cette artiste fascinante.
