Summary:
Not until the fall of the communist regime in 1989 and the end of Czechoslovakia's cultural isolation did the world begin to appreciate the Czech avant-garde photographers of the first half of the twentieth century. This first survey of Czech avant-garde photography introduces the important work of František Drtikol, Jaromir Funke, Jaroslav Rössler, Jindøich Štyrský, Josef Sudek, and numerous others whose work made Czech photography synonymous with visions of modernity. The essays introduce the period and explore the background and connections among the photographers. Biographical profiles are also included. But the book's main attraction is its outstanding collection of duotone and color images, many published here for the first time. The Czech edition of this book received the "Best Photographic Publication of 1999-2000" award from Primavera Fotográfica in Barcelona and from Month of Photography in Bratislava and was one of six finalists for the 2001 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award.

Summary:
La photographie contemporaine présente le travail de 80 des plus importants artistes photographes d'aujourd'hui, ordonné selon sept chapitres - le portrait, le paysage, le récit, l'objet, la mode, le documentaire et la ville, il explore la diversité et l'hétérogénéité des sujets, des méthodes et des styles propres à chacun. Chacune de ces séquences interroge le genre à l'aune des approches de ces photographes qui mêlent à leur travail des considérations sur la mémoire, le temps (passé/présent), l'objectivité, l'événement, la fiction (et leurs frontières), le point de vue, la politique, l'espace privé/public, l'identité, le quotidien, l'intimité. Chaque photographe fait l'objet d'un court portrait appuyé par un commentaire de l'artiste lui-même éclairant les aspects les plus singuliers de son œuvre. Une entrée directe dans leur univers, une visite guidée au sein de leurs motivations, sources d'inspiration et intentions.

Summary:
This is the first "Oxford companion" to deal with the subject of photography. It appears at a watershed in the medium's history, as digital imaging increasingly dominates the global photography scene at both amateur and professional levels. In addition to a wide range of technical information, the book encapsulates in concise and readily accessible form the mass of recent scholarship on photography as a social and artistic practice, organized both thematically and geographically. There are over 800 biographical entries, both on photographers and on other individuals who have significantly influenced photographic culture from the early 19th century to the present. The book's scope is worldwide. The international team of contributors is made up of leading authorities in their fields, and include: Heather Angel, Sylvie Aubenas, Quentin Bajac, Marta Braun, Clement Cheroux, Elizabeth Edwards, John Falconer, Colin Ford, Ron Graham, Sarah Greenough, Mark Haworth-Booth, Roger Hicks, Paul Hill, Jens Jaeger, Jan-Erik Lundstrom, Naomi Rosenblum, Rolf Sachsse, Martha Sandweiss, Graham Saxby, Joan Schwartz, Sara Stevenson, Roger Taylor, Regine Thiriez, John Ward, Liz Wells, and Mike Ware. The book is extensively illustrated and includes many pictures never before published. The majority of the 1600-plus entries include suggestions for further reading. But the work's usefulness is further enhanced by the inclusion of an extensive bibliography, a chronology of photographic history, a list of important websites, and an index of people.
