Résumé:
The first comprehensive overview of the work of Garry Winogrand contains an essay on the life and work of the photographer by John Szarkowski and a plate section presenting the photographs thematically. Grouped under the following titles-- Eisenhower Years, The Street, Women, The Zoo, On the Road, The Sixties, Etc, The Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo, Airport, and Unfinished Work-- many of the 179 plates are works that had never before been published. The last section includes 25 pictures chosen from the enormous body of work that Winogrand left unedited at the time of his death in 1984. In his essay, Szarkowski, who knew the photographer well during most of his career, describes the development of Winogrand's pictorial strategies during his years as a photojournalist, the increasing complexity of his motifs as he pursued more personal goals, and the challenge posed for other photographers by the powerful and distinctive authority of Winogrand's best work.

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.

Résumé:
En 2018, Maxime Brygo arpente plusieurs mois durant les plaines du sud du Vietnam, traversées par le fleuve Mékong. Originaire du nord de la France, il découvre dans son périple un autre "plat pays" , qui, comme le sien, fut en partie gagné sur la mer. Alternant la couleur et le noir et blanc, il parvient à capter l'aspect transitoire des paysages visités tout comme leur charge symbolique ancestrale. Flatland s'ouvre comme un recueil d'indices, d'autant plus happant que les photographies rassemblées confèrent à des sites a priori anodins une étrangeté, parfois une aura. Les lieux suggèrent ici des usages, des pratiques, des rituels, là des forces magiques, telluriques ou cosmiques dont les images restituent l'activité secrète.

Résumé:
Sandra Rocha s'est inspirée des Métamorphoses d'Ovide pour concevoir et réunir les photographies de ce livre. Là où l'auteur classique fait état de l'ensemble des mythes où des êtres humains ou divins se métamorphosent en d'autres êtres de la nature, Sandra Rocha s'empare directement des mondes animal, végétal et minéral pour les mettre en relation dans une sorte de cosmogonie. La présence humaine se retrouve prise au même niveau que l'ensemble des autres éléments composant notre monde. Sandra Rocha interroge photographiquement ce qu'un philosophe comme Emanuele Coccia a pu développer dans ses derniers ouvrages : comment les éléments du vivant peuvent interagir les uns avec les autres tout en étant intrinsèquement liés au tout.

Résumé:
« Ce livre est une plongée dans l’aspect le plus intime de ma production photographique. Depuis 2006, je tiens un journal visuel, attentif aux signes et à la recherche de fragments de ce qui constitue mon univers. Je poursuis les traces fragiles et éphémères des choses qui disparaissent rapidement, partout, tout le temps, ces choses, facilement trouvées, si difficilement retenues. Je vois ce journal comme un film sans scénario où l’œuvre prend forme sur ma table puis dans le livre. Chaque chapitre est un trajet, une tranche de vie accélérée, une captation de l’inlassable mouvement du monde. Une poignée d’étoiles fait notamment référence à mes prises de vues nocturnes durant le confinement, dans une volonté symbolique de transformer le chaos en cosmos. En plus des photographies, je joins de brefs textes, des extraits de mon journal. J’y vois là de nouvelles images, comme des planches contacts littéraires. »
