Summary:

"Sketches the spectacular and rampant growth of photography in the twentieth century, based on over 300 highlights from the Rijksmuseum's photography collection. It revisits unique works by celebrated photographers ... as well as surprising images by less well-known pratitioners. Together they show the great changes that photography underwent in the twentieth century: the rise of amateur pohotography, photojournalism, colour photography, fashion and advertising photography and photography as an art form ... an overview of twentiewth century photography in all its facets, from pure documentary to autonomous art"--Publisher's description.
