Summary:
Clarence King's Survey, undertaken between 1867 and 1872, covered a vast swath of terrain, from the border of California eastward to the edge of the Great Plains. It was the first survey to include a full-time photographer - Timothy O'Sullivan - who produced about 450 finished photographs in large-format and smaller-format stereographs. O'Sullivan's images convey a distinct individual quality of perception, at once direct and laconic, as well as a perfect union of objective fact and personal interpretation. As such, O'Sullivan remains the most admired, studied, and debated photographer who worked on the great western surveys of the 19th century.

Summary:
Saul Leiter: Early Color provides the first opportunity to see a comprehensive presentation of images by one of photography's great originals. The lyricism and intensity of his vision come into fullest play in his eloquent handling of color: to the rapid recording of the spontaneous unfolding of life on the street, Leiter adds an unconventional sense of form and a brilliantly improvisational, and frequently almost abstract, use of found colors and tones. Leiter's visual language of fragmentation, ambiguity and contingency is evoked in Saul Leiter: Early Color by one hundred subtle, painterly images that stretched the boundaries of photography in the second half of the twentieth-century.

Summary:
En 1978, à l'âge de 45 ans, à un instant de la vie où il est souvent question de faire le point, Jeanloup Sieff, photographe célèbre, réputé pour ses nus, ses images de mode et ses portraits de célébrités, sortait un livre mythique rapidement épuisé, jamais réédité.La terre craquelée, les rides dessinées par le vent, les dunes inviolées, les ciels lourds, révélés par des noirs intenses et des cadrages sobres, volontairement en retrait, forment un ensemble étrange à la limite du fantastique. La Vallée de la Mort relate ce voyage, entrepris avec sa femme Barbara en camping-car, dans une nouvelle version commentée et actualisée qui le restitue dans un contexte que le recul a rendu possible.
