Summary:
David Levi Strauss is a writer whose visual and intellectual sensibilities are both acute and expansive. His trenchant writings on photography and photographers have been collected for this volume from a broad range of magazines, including Aperture, Artforum, and The Nation. In "Between the eyes: essays on photography and politics", Strauss tackles subjects as diverse as "Photography and propaganda," the imagery of dreams, Sebastião Salgado’s epic social documents, and the deeply personal photographic revelations of Francesca Woodman. The timely issue of photographic legitimacy is addressed in the essay "Photography and belief," and in "The highest degree of illusion," Strauss discusses the media frenzy surrounding the events of September 11. As our world is shaped more and more by images and their slipperiness, what he calls a media "pandemonium" in its root meaning of "the place of all howling demons," we need a mind and voice like Levi Strauss's to bring clarity to our vision.

Summary:
This survey presents the work of seventy-six of the most important artist-photographers in the world today. Susan Bright has organized the book into seven sections : City, Portrait, Document, Object, Landscape, Fashion, and Narrative. Each section explores the diverse subjects, styles, and methods adopted by artists. Introductions to each section outline the genres and consider why photographers are attracted to certain themes and how issues like memory, time, objectivity, politics, identity, and the everyday are tied to certain approaches. Each photographer’s work is then presented in sequence, with commentaries by the author highlighting the art’s most important aspects. Quotations from the artists appear alongside to offer valuable insights into the motivation, inspiration, and intentions behind the work. With an introduction that sets out the historical relationship between art and photography from the early nineteenth century and discusses the art world’s embrace of the medium in recent decades, Art Photography Now is a comprehensive guide to the essential aspects of contemporary photography.

"Light in the Dark Room" explores photography not as a document of the past but rather as a realization of what we have lost. When we look at a photograph we see a moment that is no more.

Summary:
"Light in the Dark Room" explores photography not as a document of the past but rather as a realization of what we have lost. When we look at a photograph we see a moment that is no more. Photographs place reality into the past tense, representing not memory but memory’s loss. They are not conduits for the return of memory, but memento mori: reminders of the fact of death itself. And it is in this, Jay Prosser tells us, that we find the gift of photography. Engaging the photographic reflections of figures as different as Roland Barthes and Claude Lévi-Strauss, Gordon Parks and Elizabeth Bishop, "Light in the Dark Room" offers a vision of photography as realization of loss - and a revelation of how photographs can shed light on the dark rooms of our lives. Beginning with an analysis of Roland Barthes’s "Camera Lucida", Prosser explores the relationship of autobiography and photography and then considers Lévi-Strauss’s last published book, his photographic memoir; he uncovers the collection of photography painstakingly assembled by poet Elizabeth Bishop but never published; and he recounts the story of a forgotten Brazilian boy from the 1960s who lost his home as a result of photographs. The losses this book recalls are poignant yet universal - a son loses his mother; an anthropologist, his culture; a photographer, his youth; a poet, her lover. Among these personal and moving losses and the remarkable photographs that accompany them, Prosser weaves his own meditations on photography, on the interdependence of loss and enlightenment, on the emergence of our technologized society - and the world we have lost in the process.

Summary:
Eugène Atget, Jacques Henri Lartigue, André Kertész, Brassaï, Henri Cartier- Bresson, Robert Doisneau—some of the greatest photographers of Paris—were relatively unknown when they began their most innovative work. Not yet burdened with conventional career expectations, they found the city the perfect environment in which to invent and develop an entirely new approach to conceiving the photographic image. In the 1920s and 1930s, the generation of photographers after Atget responded not only to the physical city itself but also to a new sensibility of time as a spontaneous act. Masterworks by these now-famous visionaries of the medium are featured in this book of photographs of Paris from the 1850s to the 1950s, drawn from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. David Travis introduces the book with an essay on how these photographers inherited the culture of walking in and observing Paris from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charles Baudelaire, and the boulevard flâneurs of the late nineteenth century. Their acceptance and celebration of the fluidity of the city’s street life became the chief virtue of their profession as photojournalists for the new illustrated magazines that would eventually make them famous.

Elle est ainsi devenue aujourd'hui l'un des principaux médiums de l'art contemporain. Ce livre analyse l'infinie variété de sujets abordés et de techniques employées par les artistes, mais il s'attache surtout, et c'est là son originalité, à dresser une typologie de leurs différentes approches. Pour certains artistes, comme Sophie Calle ou Erwin Wurm, la photographie est un moyen d'enregistrer une performance ou une action quotidienne, tandis que pour d'autres, comme Yinka Shonibare ou Gregory Crewdson, elle permet la mise en scène de récits imaginaires. Andreas Gursky, Thomas Demand et Rineke Dijkstra présentent de leur côté une vision froide et en apparence objective du monde extérieur, tandis que Richard Billingham, Nan Goldin ou encore Wolfgang Tillmans donnent à voir des détails intimes de leur vie privée. Entre les mains de Luc Delahaye et d'Allan Sekula, la photographie est un moyen de créer un travail documentaire, alors que pour d'autres encore, comme Cindy Sherman ou Gillian Wearing, l'image photographique devient un réceptacle de valeurs personnelles, sociales et culturelles dans un monde saturé d'images. Au fil de sept chapitres richement illustrés, Charlotte Cotton mène une analyse originale du travail des artistes les plus importants dans ce domaine et de leurs œuvres clés, et livre ainsi une introduction subtile et exigeante à une forme qui domine la scène artistique en ce début de XXIe siècle.

These photographs document the architectural works around the world, from Le Corbusier to Luis Barragàn, photographed by the best specialists of their period. This work presents the collection that Alberto Sartoris donated to the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne. It also throws light on a poorly understood aspect of twentieth century architecture, namely, the mechanisms behind the creation and diffusion of the «image of modern architecture», as well as the determining role played by photography in this process.

Summary:
"Light Matters" gathers for the first time a selection of Vicki Goldberg's essays and criticism, culled from her writings published over the past twenty-five years. Goldberg’s take on photography is both insightful and encompassing: her subjects range from pop imagery to war journalism, from photo-booth portraits to manipulated digital imagery, from the “boredom” of voyeurism to the great preponderance of tragic photographs in the news. She brings new light to the work of the medium’s “old masters,” among them Walker Evans, Lotte Jacobi, and Lartigue, writing with equal acuity about contemporary trailblazers such as Bill Viola, Daido Moriyama, and Bastienne Schmidt. Goldberg also tackles provocative larger issues facing the medium, such as the potentially “transgressive” nature of photographs, and the camera’s powerful role in a culture of commodification. Dismissing clichés and deftly negotiating the many diverging paths photography now follows, Goldberg demonstrates how to consider not just photographic images themselves, but their impact, and the meaning of that impact. "Light Matters" showcases a writer of great intelligence, wit, and insight, whose understanding of this multifarious and evolving medium is unsurpassed.
