Réédition d'un ouvrage de 1973 dans lequel le directeur du département de la photographie du MoMA à l'époque, John Swarkowski, analyse avec brio 100 chefs-d'oeuvre de la collection du musée new-yorkais.
In the 1950s, the young Szarkowski compiled a photographic portfolio of buildings constructed by Sullivan in Chicago. He went on to complete and publish his coverage in modest book form. This new updated edition is aimed at historians of photography, of architecture, and of the making of books.
The Photographer's Eye, available again after some years out of print, offers a guide to the medium's visual language through works by such early masters as Atget, Cartier-Bresson, Evans, Strand and Weston. In this re-issue, 172 illustrations reveal the extraordinary range of the photograph from the early days of the medium's development to the mid-1960s. They are accompanied by an essay from Szarkowski, one of the most influential photography curators and critics of our time.
