PHO150 Digital Photography: David Levinthal

Photographs of Western scenes featuring toy figures are accompanied by an interview with the artist about his work.

Pictures that are made, not taken, are the focus of this exciting collection of works by 90 American artists who are using appropriation, computer technology, performance, and numerous other sources of inspiration to stretch the limits and expand the possibilities of photographic art. The Photography of Invention documents a decade of startling new work in American photography: work that challenges the accepted hierarchy of the arts and, arguably, establishes photography as the equal of the other arts.

Featuring 250 photographs by over 150 different artists, this book surveys fine art photography in American throughout the 20th century.
