Tracing the history of photography from man’s first discovery of chemical reaction to light, Peter Pollack follows every important development from the daguerrotypes of Daguerre and paper negative prints of Fox Talbot to the finegrained images of the present day.
All aspects of photography are included, presenting its tremendous power as a means of expression and communication : portraiture, journalism, the documentary, landscapes, science, abstraction, and colour. Lively, informative profiles introduce the works of such individual masters as Niepce, Hill and Adamson, Hesler, Nadar, Julia Margaret Cameron, Stieglitz, Steichen, Brassaï, Cartier-Bresson, Karsh, Gordon Parks, Bruce Davidson and many, many more.
There are fantasies and curiosities that show how photographers enlarged the scope of their medium ; stills that preserve the look and atmosphere of the pre-atomic world – its costumes, manners, houses, and scenes of daily life ; « shots » that extend the range of human vision to include the impossibly small and the impossibly far away. And the interspersed throughout is a veritable portrait gallery of memorable personalities.
Here is a collection of photographic masterpieces that represents the contribution of our own era to creative expression in the world. It will surprise and enlighten those who have regarded photography only as a factual recording device, and will reveal the limitless potential of photography as an art medium, not only through the perceptive and comprehensive text, but through the pictures themselves."
