Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The decade between the world wars witnessed an astonishing flowering of photography in Europe-- marked particularly by the unprecedented work of such figures as Man Ray, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Alexander Rodchenko. Alongside the visual experiments ran a fascinating public discussion in which critics, artists, and the photographers themselves struggled to define the nature and possibilities of photography in the modern era. The seventy-one essays and documents collected in this book provide a concise, provocative introduction to the ideas and personalities that animated avant-garde photography during these years of artistic ferment and that continue to influence the medium today. By turns poetic, analytical, and fiercely ideological, these diverse writings give expression to a very wide range of original ideas. Moholy-Nagy calls on photographers to create a powerful abstract vision that will transform our ability to see. Albert Renger-Patzsch argues for a quite different goal, a photography of revelatory realism that lays bare the essence of the subject before the lens. The French writer Pierre Mac Orlan explores psychologically compelling notions: that photography realizes all that is curiously inhuman and creates death for a second. Photography is widely characterized as a modern machine-age art that supersedes the traditional fine arts. In the Soviet Union an extraordinary interchange pits the avant-gardist Rodchenko against opponents who insist that social usefulness is photography's primary responsibility. While shedding important new light on the directions taken by photography during the twentieth century, these essays also illuminate such major movements as Futurism, Constructivism, Surrealism, and the New Objectivity. Most of the selections were not previously available in English and have been translated especially for this volume. Each appears with an informative headnote by Christopher Phillips, who in an introductory essay provides a lucid overview of the period and the context in which the writings first appeared. With its wealth of new material, this collection is an essential resource for all those studying photography or seeking to understand the visual culture of this century. This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition The New Vision: Photography Between the World Wars, Ford Motor Company Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 23-December 31, 1989.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. The decade between the world wars saw a remarkable surge in photography in Europe, highlighted by the innovative works of figures like Man Ray, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Alexander Rodchenko. This era sparked a vibrant public discourse among critics, artists, and photographers, who grappled with defining photography's role in the modern age. The seventy-one essays and documents compiled here offer a compelling introduction to the avant-garde photography movement and its lasting impact. These writings, ranging from poetic to analytical, articulate diverse and original ideas. Moholy-Nagy advocates for an abstract vision that enhances perception, while Albert Renger-Patzsch champions a revelatory realism that uncovers the essence of subjects. Pierre Mac Orlan delves into the psychological aspects of photography, suggesting it captures the "curiously inhuman" and "creates death for a second." Photography is portrayed as a modern art form that transcends traditional fine arts. In the Soviet Union, the avant-gardist Rodchenko faces critics who argue for photography's social responsibility. The essays also shed light on major movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Surrealism, and the New Objectivity, with many selections newly translated into English. Each piece is accompanied by informative headnotes, and Christopher Phillips provides an insightful introduction to the period. This collection is a vital resource for anyone studying ph.…
