Abstract
A review of the catalogue written by Szarkowski for the final
show he curated for the Museum of Modern Art in New York,
entitled: Photography until Now. The author compares Beaumont
Newhall's well researched work on the history of photography
with Szarkowski's, declaring Szarkowski as a kind of
connoisseur, with almost no research to his name. Examining the
exhibition, the author's statistics reveal that out of the more
180 photographers represented, only 16 are women, only one is
black, and after 1950, almost all are North American.
