Summary:
La collection de photographies privilégie une approche thématique, transversale, voire poétique, de la photographie moderne et contemporaine, illustrée d'une soixantaine d'oeuvres choisies parmi les 70000 que compte la collection photographique du Centre Pompidou, l'une des plus importantes sur le plan international. La ville écrite. L'histoire de la photographie est traversée par l'histoire de l'écriture et vice versa. Depuis les premiers relevés photographiques des hiéroglyphes égyptiens jusqu'aux graffitis urbains, en passant par les néons publicitaires qui éclairent la nuit des grandes villes, l'écrit hante la photographie. L'image photographique a aussi, à l'inverse, profondément modifié notre regard sur l'écriture. A l'époque moderne, la ville est devenue un immense réservoir de signes, une page sur laquelle s'inscrit notre histoire quotidienne, poétique ou politique. Des surréalistes à Andreas Gursky, de Brassaï à William Klein, c'est à cette lecture urbaine que nous invite ce livre.

Summary:
Photomontage was pioneered as a technique in central Europe in the 1910s, where it flourished as an art form through the end of World War II. While German artists such as John Heartfield, Max Ernst and Hannah Hoch used the medium to respond to the atrocities of war, other areas of Europe were simultaneously experiencing a newfound political autonomy as the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed. For these artists, namely Polish and Czech, photomontage manifested itself in a Surrealist approach to cut-and-paste imagery that emphasized its potential for visual poetry. "Photo/Montage in Print" traces the explosion of photomontage art in book cover design and illustrated magazines in the interwar period. Documenting the remarkable contributions of Czech artists in the creation of the visual language of modern print media, the publication includes some of the leading artists of the Czech avant garde such as Karel Teige, Jindrich Styrsky, Toyen, Ladislav Sutnar and Frantisek Muzika.
