Analysing many key works, from Hippolyte Bayards 1840 self-depiction as a suicide by drowning to Man Rays 1923 portrait of Marcel Duchamp posing as his alter ego, Rrose Selavy, Cindy Shermans Untitled Film Stills of the 1970s, and Yinka Shonibares 1998 Diary of a Victorian Dandy, it traces the genre from its mid-nineteenth-century origins to the present day. Illustrated throughout with works ranging from the earliest salted paper prints and daguerreotypes to todays digitally manipulated images, Acting the Part is an authoritative survey of this enduring and highly creative branch of photography. It makes an argument for the importance of the staged photograph within the history of the medium and demonstrates its intrinsic artistic value.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=696148 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=564868 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=556262 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=575481 Photographs of Prague.

Paul Getty Museums collection of over one hundred thousand images is among the most comprehensive holdings of rare and important photographs in the world.

The fifty selections in this volume include Walker Evanss Citizen in Downtown Havana, The Whisper of the Muse by Julia Margaret Cameron, and Georgia OKeeffe: A Portrait by Alfred Stieglitz, as well as photographs by Carleton Watkins, Andre Kertesz, Man Ray, Lisette Model, and many others.

The photographs in this richly illustrated book - a number of them previously unpublished - reflect Carrolls lifelong fascination with children and their world. These remarkable portraits of his child friends were made between 1856 and 1880, during the height of the Victorian Age in England - many of them at Carrolls rooms at Oxford, where he was Mathematical Lecturer. Also included in this volume are Carrolls photographs of friends, family, and luminaries of the day, as well as the only four nude portraits that have come to light. The central text, by Carroll biographer and leading scholar Morton N. Cohen, discusses the role of photography in Carrolls vast and diverse creative output. Cohen adds annotated captions and excerpts from Carrolls diaries and other writings to provide unique insight into the creative genius that produced the Alice books and other childrens favorites.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=266313 In The Silver Canvas: Daguerreotype Masterpieces from The J. Paul Getty Museum, Bates Lowry and Isabel Barrett Lowry describe Louis Jacques Mande Daguerres miraculous invention of the daguerreotype at the dawn of photography. In nearly eighty examples - many never previously published - selected from the almost two thousand daguerreotypes included in the J. Paul Getty Museums comprehensive photographs collection, the authors present the historical and artistic development of the daguerreian process, chronicling over two decades of European and American history and culture. Their narrative uncovers important new information about Daguerres invention.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=242686 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=30303 Known for his boldly innovative explorations of his everyday life as well as the natural and urban landscape, Harry Callahan is a giant in the world of photography. This remarkable book, which includes more than 100 beautifully reproduced photographs, traces Callahans career from the early 1940s to the present day and illuminates the connections between his subject matter and his constant experimentation. Callahan has consistently explored new ways of looking at the world around him - from high-contrast photographs of trees silhouetted against snow, to double exposures of his wifes nude figure merging into landscapes, to minimal abstractions - but he has used these experiments to reveal his relationships to the world around him. As a teacher at the Institute of Design in Chicago and the Rhode Island School of Design, he has influenced generations of younger photographers - and will continue to influence the art of photography for decades to come.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=295163 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=148882 Here, 102 photographs by 52 of the worlds finest contemporary photographers explore the varied relationships between people and animals. Most of the photographs are of domestic animals, what we usually call pets - cats and dogs, horses and rabbits - but here also are Indian elephants, friendly cougars, tropical snakes, haughty geese, Peruvian lambs, Irish ponies, and the white tiger that partners Siegfried and Roy use in their Las Vegas night club act.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=121491 Since the J. Paul Getty Museum began collecting photographs in 1984, it has formed one of the greatest photography collections in the world. Weston Naef, Curator of Photographs, has selected more than two hundred of the most important images from the Museums collection and written commentaries on each. Ranging in date from the 1830s to the 1960s, these photographs provide a brief history of the art of photography and offer a wide-ranging survey of the Gettys holdings. Julia Margaret Cameron, Alfred Stieglitz, Eugene Atget, Andre Kertesz, Walker Evans, and Diane Arbus are among the more than one hundred artists whose works are reproduced in this beautiful volume. Also included is an index of the photographers whose work is represented in the Museums collection.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=168711 In the early years of this century, Alfred Stieglitz was celebrated as a writer, a publisher, a photographer, an art dealer, a proselytizer for photography and modern art, and a visionary. Then, after giving much of his formidable energy to his public career, Stieglitz turned again to his own photography, exploring throughout the twenties and thirties his personal world at Lake George in the Adirondacks, where he spent summers at a farmhouse that had been part of his fathers estate. He photographed the place and the things around him - the farm, the landscape, the sky, and details of the intimate life he led with family and friends, especially his young wife, the painter Georgia OKeeffe. This body of work, both radical and private, constitutes the essence of Stieglitzs achievement as a photographer, and has never before been presented as a coherent whole. Stieglitz has always been famous, but his late work is little known. In this book, a selection of sixty-four of the best of the Lake George photographs is splendidly reproduced: over half of these works have never been published anywhere. They represent prints originally given to public collections by Georgia OKeeffe, and will be shown in September 1995 in an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, which this volume accompanies.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=101182 This comprehensive, eye-opening history of womens accomplishments in photography ranges around the world and throughout the entire history of the medium, from the mid-1800s to the present. With A History of Women Photographers, Dr. Naomi Rosenblum - author of A World History of Photography, which has become a standard reference - helps set the record straight. She explores the work of some 240 women photographers, from Anna Atkins, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Genevieve-Elisabeth Francart Disderi to Tina Modotti, Lisette Model, Margaret Bourke-White, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Susan Meiselas, and Cindy Sherman. Her ground-breaking work provides an invitingly readable chronicle both of the womens creativity and of the often-challenging contexts within which they worked. Many of these individuals have not previously received the sustained scholarly study needed to establish their importance to the field, and women photographers in general have long been stinted in photographic exhibitions, collections, and criticism, as Dr. Rosenblum makes pungently clear. In addition to the illuminating text and striking photographs are densely detailed individual biographies and an extensive annotated bibliography. All of this will make A History of Women Photographers an invaluable resource for years to come and should intensify the growing interest in these remarkable women and their work.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=289317 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=228001 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=215499 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=233199 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=90357 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=180719 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=278222 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=200209 135 black-and-white duotone plates cover twenty-one years of Robert Adams passionate affection for the American landscape.
