Description
The Photographer's Eye, available again after some years out of print, offers a guide to the medium's visual language through works by such early masters as Atget, Cartier-Bresson, Evans, Strand and Weston. In this re-issue, 172 illustrations reveal the extraordinary range of the photograph from the early days of the medium's development to the mid-1960s. They are accompanied by an essay from Szarkowski, one of the most influential photography curators and critics of our time.
Author Biography
John Szarkowski is Director Emeritus of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art. He was Director of the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art for twenty-nine years, from 1962 to 1991. His thinking about photography, US News & World Report said in 1990, 'whether Americans know it or not, has become our thinking about photography.' In addition to The Photographer's Eye, Szarkowski is the author of numerous books about the medium, including Looking at Photographs (1974), still required reading for photography students.
