Résumé:

"Published to accompany an exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, this book presents the creations of approximately one hundred individuals whose work redefined the very notion of art and embodies at times a dizzying freedom from traditional social roles. The book includes an introductory essay by Peter Demetz, as well as maps, biographies of the featured photographers, and a scholarly bibliography."--Jacket.
