Summary:
In the early 1970s, Lew Thomas set out to disrupt photography in San Francisco. Tired of the mystical thinking and emotionalism that had underscored Bay Area photography since the 1940s, Thomas pursued a photographic practice grounded in ideas gleaned from conceptual art and Structuralist philosophy. A cohort of other photographers, including Donna-Lee Phillips and Hal Fischer, embraced Thomas’ mission, joining him in what became known as the ‘Photography and Language’ movement, named after a book and group exhibition of the same title produced by Thomas in 1976. This book is published in conjunction with an exhibition featuring photographs by these three artists that will be on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art January 4 – August 9, 2020, this volume assesses their work, their relationship to one another and their place in the history of photography in the 1970s.

Summary:
La street photography connaît aujourd'hui un renouveau sans précédent. À travers le portrait de 46 photographes actuels, les auteurs de ce livre nous donnent à voir le meilleur de la création contemporaine dans un domaine qui n'a cessé depuis Gary Winogrand, Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson et Robert Frank - quatre des plus grands noms de la photographie de rue - de fasciner photographes, écrivains et un public amateurs d'"instants décisifs ". Toute la magie, la poésie, la beauté mais aussi le comique et le tragique de nos vies urbaines sont révélés par ces photographes capables en une fraction de seconde de rendre compte avec une rare éloquence de la complexité de la condition humaine. A travers quatre essais abordant les grandes thématiques de la street photography et une conversation menée entre plusieurs des principaux protagonistes du genre, les auteurs montrent à quel point la photographie de rue soulève de nombreuses questions passionnantes. Graves, dérisoires, drôles, émouvantes, captivantes, les photographies rassemblées ici affirment de manière éclatante que la street photography est aussi riche et protéiforme que l'homme de la rue - pour qui sait voir et regarder.

Summary:
One of the most prized categories of early photography was the reproduction of artworks, a role in which photographs largely replaced engravings in book imagery during the mid-19th century. Photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other works were compiled in albums, ranging from surveys of museum collections and catalogues of works by single artists to illustrated travel guides and archaeological reports. While such albums have often been valued for documentary purposes, their broader role in the institutional development of art has, until now, been overlooked. The first book on the subject, this collection of twelve essays explores topics such as how the acclaim of artists like Rubens grew because their paintings reproduced so well in photographs, how Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes were given a new public identity by the photographer's choice of striking details never explored in traditional prints, and other important ways in which photographically illustrated publications influenced the experience and the history of art.

Summary:
Appropriated Landscapes explores the landscapes of Southern Africa, through photography and video from artists including David Goldblatt, Santu Mofokeng, Jo Ractliffe, Penny Siopis and Guy Tillim. By examining the effects of war, migration, colonisation, industrialisation and ideology on South Africa, Namibia, Angola and Mozambique, this book reveals the varied histories of these regions and their peoples. Landscape - both in Southern Africa and beyond - shows itself as ultimately a construct of the mind, composed as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock.

Summary:
At the turn of the 20th century, Vienna was a flourishing, modernist metropolis, its stimulating atmosphere carrying over into all areas of life. Jewish intellectuals, artists, and scientists had a marked influence on this creative fin de siècle climate. In this time, women also asserted their rights to establish their place in society. Women photographers, many of them Jewish, played a significant role, chronicling the city’s cultural and intellectual life. Accompanying an exhibition at the Jewish Museum Vienna, this collection of historical photographs documents the little-known significance of Jewish women in this progressive vocation.
