Inhaltsangabe

A critic once described the work of American photographer Walker Evans as "tender cruelty." That tension between engagement and estrangement lies at the heart of many of the photographs featured in this provocative new book, from August Sander's remarkable study of German people at the beginning of the century to Philip-Lorca diCorcia's revealing city street scenesAmong the other photographers whose work is featured are Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Rineka Dijkstra, William Eggleston, Robert Frank, Andreas Gursky, Albert Renger-Patzsch, and Garry Winogrand. Published to accompany the first major photography exhibition to be held at Tate Modern, London, this stunning book reproduces more than 200 photographs by the century's most important realist photographers, together with insightful essays and biographies of the photographers featured. 8/1/2003

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Many of the images that have come to sum up the most turbulent century in human history belong to the realist tradition of photography. At once objective and polemical, disengaged and yet concerned, the documentary photograph has not merely recorded, but also shaped the way we see our world. Over 200 photographs by the century's most important realist photographers are reproduced in this book, together with essays and biographies of the photographers featured. Published to coincide with the first ever major photography exhibition staged at Tate Modern, Summer 2003
