Résumé:
This catalogue of seemingly casual gestures often creates an impact that can be considered deliberate, almost political, as it presents a sort of occupation of spaces, albeit prefabricated and temporary. "What we want" is a compelling project of photographs, accounts and maps that describe an urban geography modified by new pioneers.

Résumé:
Material World is the first monograph on the celebrated Canadian photographer. MacCallum's rich black and white images of sprawling industrial landscapes, luminous interior spaces of warehouses and factories, the jumbled chaos of downtown hardware and textiles outlets, all sing with an austere grace and a fine attention to detail. His objective documentary style avoids obvious commentary, allowing the material presence of the subject matter to emerge. The work comes from a keen interest in social history and the series of photographs represented here tell a story of commerce, labour and the economic relationship of cities to their industrial hinterlands. Accompanying the plates are contextual texts by novelist and media columnist Russell Smith, curator Michael Baker and artist Terence Dick, as well as an illuminating interview with the artist. This beautiful, accessible book presents the remarkable work of Peter MacCallum to a broad range of readers.

Résumé:
Hans van der Meer has been photographing football matches in the amateur leagues in Holland and beyond since 1995. The resulting pictures, often taken on pitches in apparently bizarre locations, are an amusing yet touching homage to passion and comradeship more than compensating for a lack of skill and professionalism. The photographs show some of the country's oldest(...)

Résumé:
Hans van der Meer has been photographing football matches in the amateur leagues in Holland and beyond since 1995. The resulting pictures, often taken on pitches in apparently bizarre locations, are an amusing yet touching homage to passion and comradeship more than compensating for a lack of skill and professionalism. The photographs show some of the country's oldest football pitches, some humble villagepitches, others more grand, always with the flat Dutch landscape a prominent player.

Résumé:
In 1856, the English photographer Francis Frith set out on the first of three tours of Egypt and the Holy Lands. Traveling up the Nile and then on to the Sinai, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, Frith systematically crafted exquisite pictures of ruins, landscapes, and legendary sites. He then published his views in England and America in a variety of formats, becoming something of a celebrity in photographic circles. This book, the first to place Frith's Egyptian and Levantine images in cultural context, reveals the distinct meanings these ostensibly "topographic" pictures held for the photographer and his Victorian audience. A Quaker by birth and an entrepreneur by nature, Frith brought to his photographic projects a sense of mission: to revive and confirm the stories of the Bible, while offering the region to armchair travelers as a seamless Oriental milieu of Romantic reverie. Francis Frith in Egypt and Palestine narrates the political, intellectual, and social concerns that make Frith representative of England's encounter with the East in the nineteenth century. Historian of photography Douglas R. Nickel brings a sophisticated interdisciplinary approach to bear on the subject in order to expose the complexity of Frith's image-making, setting the photographs against a Victorian backdrop of religious debate, imperialist thought, Romantic philosophy, and Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics.

Résumé:
Walker Evans (1903-1975) is best known for documenting the people and living conditions of the American South during the Great Depression. But his photographic accomplishments were much broader than these famous images: modernist views of New York City, such as his Flatiron Building, New York (1928-29) and Brooklyn Bridge (1929); architectural studies of Victorian homes and other buildings in Boston, Cape Cod, Saratoga Springs, and small towns in upstate New York; a series of spontaneous and surreptitious portraits taken on the Manhattan subway; scenes from Cuba in the 1930s; and his commercial assignments as a staff photographer and writer for Fortune magazine. The familiar work from his Farm Security Administration project is also here-views of the rural South immortalized in his collaborative book with James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, along with urban images from New Orleans and Savannah. Essays by Christian A. Peterson, associate curator of photography at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, describe Evans's photographic vision and include information about the acquisition history of many of the photographs in this book. Illustrated with almost one hundred high-quality black-and-white photographs, Walker Evans presents the full breadth of Evans's expansive and varied photographic art.

Résumé:
From 1936 to 1943, John Vachon traveled across America as part of the Farm Security Administration photography project, documenting the desperate world of the Great Depression and also the efforts at resistance, from strikes to stoic determination. This collection, the first to feature Vachon's work, offers a record of this photographer's vision and of America's land and people as the country moved from the depths of the Depression to the dramatic mobilization for World War II. Vachon's portraits of white and black Americans are among the most affecting that FSA photographers produced; and his portrayals of the American landscape, from rural scenes to small towns and urban centers, present a remarkable visual account of these pivotal years, in a style that is transitional from Walker Evans to Robert Frank.
