Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spanning a half-century, the 90 evocative photographs in this volume crystallize the essence of America. Reproduced directly from the originals, they preserve forever the Steeplechase Amusement Park in Coney Island (1940), a memorable first day of school in New York City (1950), Stan Musial and the 1951 St. Louis Cardinals, the vitality of John F. Kennedy (1961), the ideal of small-town life, the changing South, the sweeping natural beauty of the West and striking images of presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan. The product of Rothstein's more than 45 years as a photojournalist, this stirring anthology is an affirmation of faith in America. It is also a testament to the photographer's artistry and versatility. Hailed by critics at home and abroad, Rothstein's vignettes of daily life, his revealing portraits, breathtaking landscapes, and thought provoking still lifes raise documentary photography to a fine art. His photographs, masterly in their sense of design and composition, are in the permanent collections of major museums, and exhibitions of his works have been presented at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the International Museum of Photography, Rochester; the Royal Photographic Society, London; and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris"--Back cover.

Download or read book The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography written by Michael R. Peres and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining photography is impossible. Revealing it is another matter, and that's what The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography does, with each turn of the page. History: The technical origins and evolution of photography are half of the story. The other half consists of the ways that cultural forces have transformed photography into a constellation of practices more diverse than any other mode of representation. Photographers can tell a more in-depth story through a photo like Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother than a journalist ever could with the written word alone. Major themes and practitioners: Over 25 entries, many with supporting illustrations, examine the figures, trends, and ideas that have contributed most heavily to the history and current state of photography. Contemporary issues: The issues influencing photography today are more complex than at any other time in its history. Questions of ethics, desire, perception, digitization, and commercialization all vie for attention. Hear what the experts have to say about crucial issues such as whether or not the images we take today will last the test of time, and if so, how? When material is covered this skillfully, "concise is no compromise. The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography is packed with useful information, compelling ideas, and - best of all - pure pleasure.

Download or read book Hope in Hard Times written by Mary Murphy and published by Montana Historical Society. This book was released on 2003 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Rothstein, Russell Lee, John Vachon, and Marion Post Wolcott became some of the United States' best-known photographers through their pictures of Depression-era America. Their assignment, as one of their associates described it, was to have "a long look at the whole vast, complicated rural U.S. landscape with all that was built on it and all those who built and wrecked and worked in it and bore kids and dragged them up and played games and paraded and picnicked and suffered and died and were buried in it." In Montana the four photographers traveled to forty of the state's fifty-six counties, creating a rich record of the many facets of the Depression and recovery: rural and urban, agricultural and industrial, work and play, hard times and the promise of a brighter future. The photographers captured the dignity of Montanans as they struggled to scratch out livings from dried-up fields, nurture families in the shadows of Butte head frames, and foster communities on the vast expanses of the northern plains. Hope in Hard Times, features over 140 Farm Security Administration photographs to illustrate the story of the Great Depression in Montana and the experiences of the photographers who documented it. Today these striking images, from cities like Butte to small towns like Terry, present an unforgettable portrait of a little-studied period in the history of Montana. Selected from the Farm Security Administration Collection at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the photographs in Hope in Hard Times offer viewers an unparalleled look at life in Montana in the years preceding the United States' entry into World War II.

Download or read book Folk Photography written by Luc Sante and published by Verse Chorus Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A penetrating analysis of the real-photo postcard phenomenon of the early 1900s. These cards depict the now vanished world of small-town America, but also represent a pivotal stage in the evolution of photography. Their head-on style inherits something of the plain aesthetic of the Civil War photographers, while anticipating the great 1930s documentary artists such as Walker Evans. Fusing his skills as a chronicler of early 20th-century America, a historian of photography and a keen critic, Sante shows how these postcards offer a revealing 'self-portrait of the American nation'.
Book Synopsis American Photography by : Vicki Goldberg
Download or read book American Photography written by Vicki Goldberg and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful and informative photographic history includes images from 1900 to 1999. Many are often seen (bullet piercing the apple, splashing crown of milk, Sophia Loren looking askance at Jayne Mansfield's plunging decollete, and Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother); but most are probably unknown, because the photos were selected not only for their visual and cognitive qualities but also for their importance to the history and development of photographic technique and usage. The century is divided into thirds for explanation's sake, and there is at least one photograph for every year. While this is a picture book, the accompanying text provides informative introductions to the uses and abuses of perhaps the century's most important medium. The book is companion to the PBS series. Oversize: 12.5x9.5". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Book Synopsis Exposing Mississippi by : Annette Trefzer
Download or read book Exposing Mississippi written by Annette Trefzer and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2022 EUDORA WELTY PRIZE Internationally known as a writer, Eudora Welty has as well been spotlighted as a talented photographer. The prevalent idea remains that Welty simply took snapshots before she found her true calling as a renowned fiction writer. But who was Welty as a photographer? What did she see? How and why did she photograph? And what did Welty know about modern photography? In Exposing Mississippi: Eudora Welty's Photographic Reflections, Annette Trefzer elucidates Welty’s photographic vision and answers these questions by exploring her photographic archive and writings on photography. The photographs Welty took in the 1930s and ’40s frame her visual response to the cultural landscapes of the segregated South during the Depression. The photobook One Time, One Place, which was selected, curated, and shaped into a visual narrative by Welty herself, serves as a starting point and guide for the chapters on her spatial hermeneutic. The book is divided into sections by locations and offers how the framing of these areas reveals Welty’s radical commentary of the spaces her camera captured. There are over eighty images in Exposing Mississippi, including some never-before-seen archival photographs, and sections of the book draw on over three hundred more. The chapters on institutional, leisure, and memorial landscapes address how Welty’s photographs contribute to, reflect on, and intervene in customary visual constructions of the Depression-era South.
