Schule des Augenblicks
Obgleich noch eine verhältnismäßig junge Kunst, ist die Fotografie von einer Wandelbarkeit und einem Facettenreichtum, die ihresgleichen suchen. Anfangs brachte sie als »Bleistift der Natur« ihre Betrachter zum Staunen, weil sie die Realität selbst auf Glas und Papier zu bannen vermochte. Doch schon bald brillierte sie durch ihre Möglichkeiten zur künstlerischen Mise en Scène. Die Digitalfotografie und ihre Manipulationsmöglichkeiten vervielfältigen die Ausdrucksdimensionen der Aufnahmen ins Unendliche. Ian Jeffrey nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise in die Fotografiegeschichte, an deren Stationen die großen Meister*innen dieses außergewöhnlichen Mediums ihre Aufwartung machen. Es werden die wichtigsten Etappen in der Entwicklung dieses außergewöhnlichen Mediums beleuchtet, um schließlich zu einem umfassenden Bild seines unerschöpflichen Gestaltungsreichtums zu gelangen.
Ben Shahn's New York
"Ben Shahn, painter, muralist, and graphic artist, was also a talented photographer who made documentary street photographs in New York City in the early 1930s. This book is the first to focus on his compelling New York images, showing how he used a camera to comment on many social issues of his day." "The book considers the immediate social history of Shahn's New York photographs and analyzes how his leftist politics and his interest in news photographs and film affected his photographic aesthetic. The authors assert the importance of analyzing Shahn's paintings and photographs together, explaining why the connections between the two have been ignored until now. The book reproduces not only Shahn's New York photographs but also his related paintings, prints, and drawings, and an appendix presents documents that speak to the impact of his photographic work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Instituting Reform
Harvard University's distinctive Social Museum was established in 1903 by Francis Greenwood Peabody (1847-1936) to collect the social experience of the world as material for university teaching. The more than 5,000 photographs and graphic illustrations that survive, including works by Lewis Hine and Frances Benjamin Johnston, are now held by the Harvard Art Museums. Instituting Reform focuses an exacting lens on the Social Museum's history, motive, and meaning. Punctuated by generous portfolio sections, the book's five essays probe the museum's collection, using it as a case study to explore the early institutional uses of photographs as social documents, the systematization of exhibition display by reform organizations, and the role such institutions played in the formation of the modern research university. The museum promoted the study of philanthropic, social, and industrial progress through the inductive method of observation common in the sciences. As the authors demonstrate, however, the social truths made evident were strongly influenced by prevailing values and tensions of the Progressive Era.
