This book is the first to present the history, aesthetics, and technique of Concrete Photography, a longstanding but formerly unplumbed subgenre within Concrete Art--or in Theo van Doesburg's formulation, art which depicts nothing but "itself." The contributing scholars here identify approximately 180 works by 80 international artists, who, in the words of photography professor and practitioner Gottfried Jâger, have produced a "self-referential world of images, highly abstract, non-figurative."

Photography’s Materialities orchestrates one such conversation. Juxtaposi...
The fourth volume in a history of photography, this is a bibliography of books on the subject.
As an artistic medium, photography is uniquely subject to accidents, or disruptions, that can occur in the making of an artwork. Though rarely considered seriously, those accidents can offer fascinating insights about the nature of the medium and how it works. With Inadvertent Images, Peter Geimer explores all kinds of photographic irritation from throughout the history of the medium, as well as accidental images that occur through photo-like means, such as the image of Christ on the Shroud of Turin, brought into high resolution through photography. Geimer’s investigations complement the history of photographic images by cataloging a corresponding history of their symptoms, their precariou...
