Another Way of Telling

A review of 3 books on a simular topic: 'Image and Text'. The
books reviewed: ""Image and Word: The interaction of 20th
century Photographs and Texts'' by Jefferson Hunter; ""In
Visible Light: Photography and the American Writer: 1840-1940''
by Carol Schloss; and ""Realism, Writing, Disfiguration: On
Thomas Eakins and Stephen Crane'' by Michael Fried. The first
book, ""Image and Word'', probes the basic identity and
complementariness of these two different kinds of
representation. ""In Visible Light'' is the only one that
attempts to come to grips with photography per se. Michael Fried
""focuses on two instances of image and word in concert: the
paintings of Eakins and the writing of Crane''.
