Product Description
A fascinating exploration of the multiple roles of photography as viewed through perhaps the single most important collection of American photography of the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s the permanent collection of The Museum of Contemporary Photography. Isolating the development of postwar photography into four major roles artistic expression, documentation, commercial industry, and scientific tool the book delivers insightful essays from renowned scholars coupled with 170 perfectly printed quadratone images from all the most important photographers of this era. As an instructive primer on four decades of photography, as a work of extensive research and scholarship, or simply as an unprecedented assemblage of great photography, Photography s Multiple Roles is a monumental, accessible and much needed work. 272 pp., 170 quadratone illus., 10 x 11 , Softbound.
