PHO150 Digital Photography: Harry Callahan

A revelatory new study of the twentieth-century master Harry Callahan, offering insights into his often experimental process and his contribution to the history of photography. Reproducing a host of previously unpublished images and documents, this volume juxtaposes select artifacts--such as contact sheets and variants--with final images to explicate Callahan's life in and influence upon photography.

Includes short essays on the photographers (Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Brassai, Laura Gilpin, Man Ray, Josef Sudek, Edward Weston, and others) accompanied by one of their photos.

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

American photography from the turn of the century through the mid-1960s offers one of the richest and most coherent traditions in the history of the medium. This book explores that tradition in depth through superb reproductions of 183 photographs from the outstanding collection of The Museum of Modern Art." Major figures, such as Paul Strand, Edward Weston, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Harry Callahan, and Robert Frank, are each represented by six or more photographs. Dozens of other distinguished photographers are included as well, and many remarkable but unfamiliar pictures join the landmark works.

Walker Evans & Company focuses on Evans as a central figure in the arts of the 1920s and 30s, and includes works in photography and other mediums that influenced Evans or were influenced by him, or which resonate in a significant way with aspects of his imagery, sensibility and style. Among the other artists whose work is featured are: Eugene Atget, Mathew Brady, Stuart Davis, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Edward Hopper, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, August Sander, Andy Warhol and Edward Weston.
