Download or read book Meaningful Places written by Rachel McLean Sailor and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early history of photography in America coincided with the Euro-American settlement of the West. This thoughtful book argues that the rich history of western photography cannot be understood by focusing solely on the handful of well-known photographers whose work has come to define the era. Art historian Rachel Sailor points out that most photographers in the West were engaged in producing images for their local communities. These pictures didn’t just entertain the settlers but gave them a way to understand their new home. Photographs could help the settlers adjust to their new circumstances by recording the development of a place—revealing domestication, alteration, and improvement. The book explores the cultural complexity of regional landscape photography, western places, and local sociopolitical concerns. Photographic imagery, like western paintings from the same era, enabled Euro-Americans to see the new landscape through their own cultural lenses, shaping the idea of the frontier for the people who lived there.

Download or read book In the American West written by Richard Avedon and published by . This book was released on 1985-01 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Avedon's In the American West is widely regarded as a landmark project in photographic history and a definitive expression of the power of photographic art. The reissuing of this legendary book, first published by Thames & Hudson in 1985, is a major event in the photography world. Avedon made numerous journeys over a period of five years to the western states of America, from Montana to New Mexico, where he searched out and photographed ordinary working people - a fascinating contrast to the affluent and fashionable subjects he usually portrayed. Here are cattle-ranch workers, miners, drifters, gamblers, bar girls and oil rig workers - men and women who typify the spirit of life in the 'Wild West'. Avedon captured it in their faces, in their posture, in their dress, and he recorded it with passion and superb technical skill. Over a hundred full-page portraits are magnificently reproduced in tritone and are illuminated by Avedon's own explanations of his photographic method and philosophy. In the American West is one of the most original and powerful photographic works ever published; this new edition is certain to become a prized collector's item.

Download or read book American Photography written by Vicki Goldberg and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful and informative photographic history includes images from 1900 to 1999. Many are often seen (bullet piercing the apple, splashing crown of milk, Sophia Loren looking askance at Jayne Mansfield's plunging decollete, and Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother); but most are probably unknown, because the photos were selected not only for their visual and cognitive qualities but also for their importance to the history and development of photographic technique and usage. The century is divided into thirds for explanation's sake, and there is at least one photograph for every year. While this is a picture book, the accompanying text provides informative introductions to the uses and abuses of perhaps the century's most important medium. The book is companion to the PBS series. Oversize: 12.5x9.5". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
Download or read book Photography and the Old West written by Karen Current and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 1978 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an explanation of the role of the nineteenth-century photographer as a conscious historian of the West - a recorder of events, people, and places as surely as they were the diary-keepers, journalists, and writers. Like them, he exercised choice in what he recorded; unlike them, he documented aspects of reality that we can know in no other way. Photographers as documenters are too often casually, even carelessly, regarded. Photography And The Old West is intended to convey as clearly as possible how people learned to use a camera and became camera-wise in an individual way; how tools and materials affected photographic seeing; and what a few of the many photographers hoped to express. This work is not a comprehensive survey but rather a selective look at some of the imagery of the West that a few conscious photographers produced.
