Description
Summary:Based on a 1964 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art and first published in 1966, Szarkowski's classic reprinted work offers an introduction to the art of photography. It brings together pictures by both recognized masters and unknown photographers that offer an outline of photography's creative visual language, revealing the extraordinary range of the medium's potential. The pictures are divided into five sections, each an examination of one of the particular sets of choices imposed on the artist with the camera. --From publisher's description.
