Summary:
Celebrating twenty years of collecting photographs at the Getty Museum, "Photographers of Genius at the Getty" and the exhibition it accompanies spotlight the genius of thirty-eight seminal photographers selected from the hundreds of artists represented in the collection. The innovative pioneers presented here span the early nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. They advanced the art of photography and in the process brought about changes in the history of art. These artists include well-known photographers such as Gustave Le Gray, Julia Margaret Cameron, Eugène Atget, Alfred Stieglitz, August Sander, André Kertész, Man Ray, Edward Weston, Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Weegee, and Diane Arbus. Others will be new even to experts. For example, early innovators Girault de Prangey, Anna Atkins, Camille Silvy, Henry Bosse, and the Langenheim brothers have been rediscovered in recent years, bringing to light the importance of their particular contributions to the history of art and photography. Each artist is represented in the book by three related images and interpretive remarks by Naef. Illustrations include selections from Atget's signature views of Paris, Stieglitz's portrait of Georgia O'Keeffe, Weston's distinctive nudes, and Arbus's images of women.

Summary:
This album is a collaboration between Rudy Burckhardt, one of the great New York photographers of the 1930s and ’40s, and his companion and lifelong friend, the poet and dance critic Edwin Denby. Previously unpublished, and reproduced here in facsimile, New York, N. Why? is a unique, handmade book containing 67 photographs and seven sonnets. Now in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, it contains many of Burckhardt’s best-known images, dazzlingly sequenced into three urban themes – advertising, pedestrians, and street furniture. The photographer and poet met in Basel, Switzerland in 1934 and moved the following year to New York. There, the Burckhardt instinctively sought out what others overlooked – the abstract modernist tableaux of fire hydrants, standpipes, cornices, and columns; the readymade collage of newsstands and storefronts; and the complex choreography of pedestrians darting and weaving through crowded intersections. An accompanying essay by Doug Eklund, Associate Curator in the Department of Photographs at the Metropolitan, examines the album in relation to Burckhardt’s contemporaneous films, Denby’s pioneering writing on dance from the same moment, and the origins of the New York School in painting, photography, and poetry.

Summary:
Ce livre rassemble 175 photographies d'intérieurs berlinois réalisées entre 1903 et 1920, pour le compte d'une enquête " hygiéniste " sur l'habitat menée par une caisse locale d'assurance maladie des métiers du commerce. L'objectif de cette campagne photographique d'ampleur était d'inciter à l'amélioration de l'habitat berlinois et à l'éradication de l'insalubrité. Cette collection est exceptionnelle dans l'histoire de la photographie, à plus d'un titre : par son thème : approche photographique des espaces domestiques en présence de leurs occupants ; par son époque : juste avant et pendant la Grande Guerre ; par sa durée : sur deux décennies ; par son unité de lieu, au coeur de Berlin ; par sa prouesse technique : photographier des intérieurs sombres constitue une difficulté majeure. Le document dans son ensemble renseigne également tout un pan de l'économie liée au travail à domicile. L'articulation logement/atelier est très explicite : on perçoit l'espace du travail et les dispositifs techniques qui s'y rattachent. Par leur qualité, leur vérité, leur rigueur documentaire (notamment par la précision des légendes), elles sont saisissantes et peuvent susciter un certain effroi au vu des conditions d'habiter une métropole ouvrière au tournant du XXe siècle. Elles nous font pénétrer au sein des foyers et de l'espace privé des classes populaires, dans l'univers des mal logés et même des sans-abri qu'on y accueille.

Summary:
For ten years Camille Seaman has documented the rapidly changing landscapes of Earth's polar regions. As an expedition photographer aboard small ships in the Arctic and Antarctic, she has chronicled the accelerating effects of global warming on the jagged face of nearly fifty thousand icebergs. Seaman's unique perspective of the landscape is entwined with her Native American upbringing: she sees no two icebergs as alike; each responds to its environment uniquely, almost as if they were living beings. Through Seaman's lens, each towering chunk of ice—breathtakingly beautiful in layers of smoky gray and turquoise blue—takes on a distinct personality, giving her work the feel of majestic portraiture. Melting Away collects seventy-five of Seaman's most captivating photographs, lifeaffirming images that reveal not only what we have already lost, but more importantly what we still have that is worth fighting to save.
