Description
Composed of just over 100 photographs, this exhibition catalogue celebrates the exceptional contribution that American photographers made to the history of art in the 20th century. Made from 1900-1950, these photographs represent an extraordinary fertile period in photography's evolution. It includes stunning works by Edward Steichen, Clarence White, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Margaret Bourke-White, Dorothea Lange, Berenice Abbott, Lisette Model, Weegee and the members of New York's Photo League. A scholarly essay is accompanied by dozens of individual presentations that discuss provenance, history, technique, as well as details of the life and times of each artist.
