Résumé:
The Nature of Photographs is the essential primer of photography, not only for students but for anyone with an interest in the medium. In this book, Shore explores ways of understanding photographs from all periods and of all types - from iconic images to found photographs, from negatives to digital files. Its aim is not to explore photographic content – the subject of an image – but to describe the physical and formal attributes of a photographic print, the very elements that form the tools a photographer uses to define and interpret that content. By teaching us how to look at photographs and helping us to see the world the way the photographer may have seen it, Shore also teaches us a way of looking at the world around us.

Résumé:
Before the late 1960s, few museums or collectors acquired photographs or considered the medium as an art form. The moment arrived, however, when photography’s profile ascended and the medium began to gain widespread acceptance in the art world as an art form engaged with issues that were central to contemporary art. This was precisely the moment of greatest growth for the collection presented here. This catalogue publishes for the first time the 548 photographs in the Norton Simon Museum of Art collection, more than 90 per cent of which were acquired during that fascinating moment of transition in the history of photography, 1969 to 1974. In "The Collectible Moment" Therese Mulligan outlines the character, quality, and importance of the Norton Simon collection, and Gloria Williams Sander explores the history of the Museum’s photography department in the context of the local art organizations in general and community of photographers specifically. First-person recollections by a number of important figures in the world of photography provide immediate and vivid accounts of the period and the photo artists of this important historical moment.

Résumé:
The Getty presents "Where We Live: Photographs from the Berman Collection", at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Center, October 24, 2006-February 25, 2007. The exhibition showcases the richness of American color photography in nearly 170 works by 24 important contemporary artists, and includes works that will be shown for the first time. "Where We Live" draws from nearly 500 examples of postwar American photography donated by the Bermans to the Museum over the past eight years. The photographs that the Bermans have donated to the Getty form an archive of late 20th-century American life. The presentation marks the opening of the Getty Museum's new and expanded suite of galleries devoted to photographs, reflecting the importance of the art form in the Getty's collection.

The hour of twilight expresses the limit between the familiar and the unknown; the comfortable and the dangerous - an uncertain threshold between hope and fear. This otherworldly quality has inspired artists, who strive to record and replicate the ambiguity of the moment between night and day.

Résumé:
The hour of twilight expresses the limit between the familiar and the unknown; the comfortable and the dangerous - an uncertain threshold between hope and fear. This otherworldly quality has inspired artists, who strive to record and replicate the ambiguity of the moment between night and day. At dusk, the colour and quality of light changes rapidly and dramatically and is therefore a significant and poignant time for photographers in particular. In recent years, an increasing number of artists have photographed in the twilight hour to explore its optical effects and psychological implications. This exhibition will focus on contemporary photography and video and is the first to explore the theme of twilight in this way. It will include work by both established and emerging artists from around the world including Philip-Lorca di Corcia, Gregory Crewdson, Bill Henson, Robert Adams, Chrystel Lebas, Liang Yue and Ori Gersht.

Résumé:
De la guerre 1914-1918 témoignent de multiples photographies : la violence des assauts, leurs effrayants résultats s'y inscrivent entre noir et blanc dans toutes ces nuances de gris qu'on accorde si aisément, culturellement, aux visions dramatiques. Mais d'autres images existent, moins connues parce que moins montrées et reproduites, qui rendent à cette guerre ses couleurs. Des couleurs étonnamment préservées, grâce au procédé autochrome mis au point par les frères Lumière, comme on peut en juger par les photographies de cet album consacré à la bataille de la Marne, au front de Champagne et à la ville de Reims. Dans cette zone de combats très emblématique du conflit travaillèrent, avec ce même procédé autochrome, des photographes aussi bien français qu'allemand : Jules Gervais-Courtellemont (1863-1931), Hans Hildenbrand (1870-1957), Paul Castelnau (1880-1944) et Fernand Cuville (1887-1927). Introduction par Alain Fleischer.
