Abstract
This book is a classic. Published in 1966 and based on a 1964 “landmark” exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, it is filled with black and white images photographed over the span of nearly a century and a quarter by both recognized masters and unknown photographers.
Mr. Szarkowski states that the book is an investigation of what photographs look like, and of why they look that way. It is concerned with photographic style and with photographic tradition; with the sense of possibilities that a photographer today takes to his work.
The book is divided into five parts, with each part containing photographs representing an aspect of photography which Mr. Szarkowski has identified as being inherent to the photographic medium, contributing to the art form of photography. He illustrates how the photographer’s eye is different from that of another type of artist, such as a painter.
