nconnus des surréalistes, ces photomontages ont été oubliés quand sont revenus à la mode le surréalisme, la photographie et la carte postale ancienne. Produites entre 1908 et 1913 pour la plupart d'entres elles, ces cartes tant par leur imaginaire fantastique que par leur haute technicité méritent largement d'entrer dans l'histoire de la photographie. Les tall-tale postcards, car tel est leur nom, sont aussi de précieux documents de la "folk culture" du Middle West américain; un monde strictement rural où l'exagération inspire bien des légendes.

Photographs are made of time; they are literally projections of past states of their subjects.

Summary:
Buildings inhabit and symbolize time, giving form to history and making public space an index of the past. Photographs are made of time; they are literally projections of past states of their subjects. This visually striking meditation on architecture in photography explores the intersection between these two ways of embodying the past. Photographs of buildings, Joel Smith argues, are simultaneously the agents, vehicles, and cargo of social memory.

Summary:
Photography played a critical role in conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s, as artists turned to photography as both medium and subject matter. "Light Years" offers the first major survey of the key artists of this period who used photography to new and inventive ends. Whereas some employed photographic images to create slide projections, photographic canvases, and artists' books, others integrated them into sculptural assemblages and multimedia installations. This book highlights the work of acclaimed international artists such as Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Mel Bochner, Sol LeWitt, Bruce Nauman, Giuseppe Penone, and Ed Ruscha.

Summary:
Examining the revolution in photography that took place across Europe between 1918 and 1945, this survey orients its examination around three cities, each of which served as a nexus for major developments in the medium: Prague, Paris and Barcelona. Until the First World War, photography had largely followed the aesthetics of painting. During and after the war, such movements as Constructivism and Surrealism led photography to new frontiers, developing techniques and styles that explored the medium strictly on its own terms.

Summary:
En septembre 1925, à New York, un immigrant d’origine russe, Anatol Josepho, installe le premier studio photo entièrement automatisé. Une petite cabine où il est possible de réaliser et d’obtenir des portraits d’identités sans l’intervention d’un photographe : « 8 photos en 8 minutes pour 25 cents ». Le Photomaton est né. Le procédé est simple. Le succès est immédiat. Très vite le procédé va être détourné de son usage premier, et ouvrir un nouveau champ à l'improvisation, à la détente, au laisser-aller et à l'expression artistique. Séquencé en trois grands thèmes, Origines et Photographie identitaire, Arts, Détournements, ce livre dresse un inventaire du photomaton et de ses variations artistiques en y mêlant autoportraits de célébrités et d’anonymes. Le photomaton, marque commerciale devenue désignation générique au même titre que « frigidaire », a irréversiblement modifié la perception que nous avons de notre propre image, comme en témoigne l’intérêt qu’il a suscité et suscite toujours auprès de nombreux artistes mais aussi du grand public !

Summary:
The range of photographic vision in the National Gallery’s collection of 19th Century French photographs is vast. The collection extends from topographical photographers who made little pretense to art but, because of the sensitivity and skill produced work that transcends the original purpose, to those who considered themselves as artists and the photographs they produced as art. With over 200 illustrations, this abundantly illustrated publication features an original essay on the development of photography in 19th Century France as well as sixty-six individual presentations. Among the dozens of photographers discussed are Eugène Atget, Edouard Baldus, Maxime Du Camp, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Nègre, and Auguste Salzmann. James Borcoman is the Curator Emeritus of Photographs for the National Gallery and the author of several books including monographs on Eugène Atget and Yousuf Karsh. After Modernist Photographs from the National Gallery of Canada, this is the second publication in a series devoted to the Gallery's photography collection.
