Résumé:
Three decades ago, Lewis Baltz became fascinated by the stark, man-made landscape rolling over so much of California's agrarian terrain. This is the best-known of his projects on the subject, published as a limited-edition book by Leo Castelli in 1974. The work assured Baltz's place in the influential New Topographic movement, which stands for a cool, distanced yet critical view of the emerging, man-altered landscape. This milestone in the history of American contemporary photography, is once again available in an impeccable facsimile of the original publication.

Résumé:
Eugène Atget est né en 1857, à Libourne, non loin de Bordeaux. Il meurt soixante-dix ans plus tard, à Paris, en 1927, laissant derrière lui une somme de travail incomparable. En 1888, après ses insuccès au théâtre et dans la peinture, il se choisit artisan photographe. Il fait des "documents pour artistes", puis à partir de 1897 et jusqu'à sa mort, il va fixer les empreintes de la capitale. Soit trente années de clichés. Trente ans de mutations, de transformations de la ville, du vieux Paris (celui d'avant la Révolution) à celui post-haussmanien : les rues étroites, les vieux édifices, les places, les ponts et les quais, les devantures de magasin, les cours intérieures, les cages d'escalier... Tout un travail sur la colonne vertébrale de Paris, auquel il ajoute des modèles en chair et en os : des artisans, des prostituées, des ouvriers, des camelots. Cet ouvrage superbe rend un hommage à ce pionnier que fut Atget, à la fois esthète et archéologue photographe, lécheur de vitrines et amateur de façades, arpenteur insatiable du pavé parisien. Un hommage ô combien nécessaire.

Résumé:
William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) is best remembered as the scientist who invented photography. Others had tried recording the images projected by a lens, but Talbot was the first to grasp the physical basis for realizing this dream and to conceive of a practical means for fixing these ephemeral images permanently onto a sheet of paper. But Talbot's considerable technical achievements have often overshadowed his growth as an artist. Larry Schaaf examines this artistic growth by bringing together for the first time high quality reproductions of one hundred photographs representing the full sweep of Talbot's work. These beautiful images are not only records of scientific triumphs, but also the evidence of the first steps in shaping a totally new type of vision. The one hundred plates are reproduced in the actual size of the originals and in all the subtle colours that comprised Talbot's early work. They range from Talbot's Lilliputian pre-1839 negatives (made in "mousetrap" cameras) through botanical photograms to mid-1840s calotypes that demonstrate a sure command of the new art. Each plate is discussed in detail, drawing on important new research conducted by the author.

Résumé:
"Isolated Houses" focuses on the outer frontier of Los Angeles where, 150 miles beyond the city, the built environment comprises a handful of rudimentary structures. The dwellings that dot the landscape seem temporary, even toylike. The work pays homage to those places where nature and culture intersect.

Résumé:
Julius Shulman's long career photographing great architectural works with depth, passion, drama, and an instinct for the architect's intentions has ensured his present status as one of the world's preeminent architectural photographers. His eloquent photos interpreting the structures of Richard Neutra and other early modernists helped the viewing public to understand these revolutionary buildings, and brought prominence to modernist practitioners who might otherwise have been considered eccentric. Frank Lloyd Wright once said that no better photos had ever been taken of Taliesin West than those by Shulman. "Photographing Architecture and Interiors", published in 1962, is Shulman's first book, and he still considers it to be his most genuine reflection on the profession and on his own artistic philosophy. This title is an exact reprint of that classic publication. All of Shulman's famous photographs have here been reproduced from original prints, giving the images a crispness and luminosity not seen even in the 1962 edition. The introduction by Richard Neutra, perhaps Shulman's most important client and avid supporter, has been preserved; also included is a new foreword by Shulman.
