The Photo Essay
None
The Photo Illustration
"This book explores photography in unique way--through the human and artistic experiences of one of the world's most accomplished photo illustrators, it does more than explain style and technique; it brings to life the impulses, the thoughts, the frailties, the creative processes that make Bert Stern's work a standard of excellence in his field."--Page 4 of cover
The Photograph as Contemporary Art
"An essential guide."--Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Between Home and Heaven
A lavishly illustrated catalogue containing nearly 150 photographs (both color and bandw) by some 50 young photographers to accompany a major exhibit presented by the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American Art. Most of the images date to the late 1980s and encompass a wide variety of styles. The volume is 121/2x10" and a number of the photographs are double-page spreads. Includes topical essays by Merry A. Foresta, Karal Ann Marling, and Stephen Jay Gould. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Wanderlust
Journeys occupy a central role in the history of American thought, and travel photography has been a vital genre since the 1840s. The appeal of the foreign and exotic is just as strong to contemporary photographers as it was to their nineteenth-century counterparts. Our voracious appetite for images of the unfamiliar remains undiminished. This catalog includes the work of eight contemporary photographers--Linda Connor, Ed Grazda, Richard Pare, Stuart Klipper, Mitch Epstein, Rosalind Solomon, Lois Conner, and Lee Friedlander--all of whom derive inspiration from their travels to far-flung reaches of the world. Their work represents a variety of aesthetic and technical approaches, but they all share an acute and non-idealized awareness of balance, belonging, and place that transcends the habits of daily environment. As one photographer stated, "Journeys are our gyres. In elemental ways we are always traveling in circles. We have to go away to come back home."
Between Home and Heaven
Three noted academics describe a new exhibit for the National Museum of American Art that uses the landscape photography of the eighties to show how visual artists have attempted to grapple with environmental issues. Simultaneous.
Typologies

Published to accompany an exhibition organized by the Newport Harbor Art Museum, which will travel nationally. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
