Résumé:
For street photographers, New York has always been a city of unparalleled visual excitement, teeming with diverse people and distinctive neighborhoods. "New York: capital of photography" examines how photographers chronicled New York throughout the twentieth century, how the city changed their vision, and how their work affected ideas about New York throughout the world. This illustrated book presents the work of both famous and lesser-known photographers, many of them Jewish. An underlying theme in this pictorial history of New York is the critical role played by Jewish sensibility. Max Kozloff begins with the development of street photography that emerged in New York in the early 1900s with a local school of photographers led by Alfred Stieglitz. Documenting work, loneliness, play, conflict, love, and spectacle, this group came to define urban perception as the characteristic visual experience of modernity. Some photographers also became social activists, observing New York’s ethnic and racial diversity and focusing their lenses on newcomers and marginalized groups. From the 1930s to 1960s, Kozloff shows, members of the New York School envisioned the city in a different way, as a processing center for immigrants, a site of commercial display, and a crossroads of world culture. In the 1950s and 1960s, photographers saw New York as an uneasy battleground, and their pictures caught the forces of civil rights, sexual liberation, and leftist politics as they clashed with traditional powers. Finally, as the century waned, photographers became more self-conscious, exploring their own and their friends’ identities through the camera’s eye. From Lewis Hine’s 1905 picture of recent immigrants at Ellis Island to Nan Goldin’s portraits of her friends over the past thirty years, these photographs reveal the true vitality of New York. Max Kozloff, art critic and former executive editor of Artforum, has published widely on twentieth-century art and photography. Published in association with The Jewish Museum, New York.

Résumé:
In "Each Wild Idea", Geoffrey Batchen explores a wide range of photographic subjects, from the timing of the medium's invention to the various implications of cyberculture. Along the way, he reflects on contemporary art photography, the role of the vernacular in photography's history, and the Australianness of Australian photography. The essays all focus on a consideration of specific photographs--from a humble combination of baby photos and bronzed booties to a masterwork by Alfred Stieglitz. Although Batchen views each photograph within the context of broader social and political forces, he also engages its own distinctive formal attributes. In short, he sees photography as something that is simultaneously material and cultural. In an effort to evoke the lived experience of history, he frequently relies on sheer description as the mode of analysis, insisting that we look right at--rather than beyond--the photograph being discussed. A constant theme throughout the book is the question of photography's past, present, and future identity.

Résumé:
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.

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.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Que font les jeunes photographes à l'aube du 21e siècle? Quel regard portent-ils sur le monde? Dans quelle mesure s'inscrivent-ils dans la tradition, la développent-ils ou la rejettent-ils? Sont-ils encore attachés à la chambre noire ou l'ordinateur est-il devenu le nouveau laboratoire de fabrication d'images? ‘reGeneration’ tente de donner des réponses à ces questions, en révélant les travaux de cinquante jeunes artistes, susceptibles de figurer parmi les meilleurs photographes de leur génération. Ce livre, remarquable par le vaste tour d'horizon qu'il propose, présente une sélection de plus de deux cents images qui sont le fruit des recherches d'une nouvelle génération d'artistes. Les conservateurs du Musée de l'Elysée, institution mondialement connue dans le domaine de la photographie, ont examiné les portfolios de plusieurs centaines de candidats issus de soixante écoles de photographie des cinq continents, toutes réputées sur le plan international. Une question précise s'est posée lors de la sélection : quels sont les photographes promis à une importante carrière dans les vingt prochaines années? ‘reGeneration’ atteste que la photographie est un art vivant, qu'elle n'a en rien perdu de son potentiel au 21e siècle, et que de jeunes photographes sont sur la voie de laisser leur marque dans l'histoire.
