Critiques
A great book and a great historical document, which basically changed - thanks to Szarskowski open mind - the perception of photography in the second half of XX century. Very good edition with superb duotone printed images.
Edizione che riproduce fedelmente (e con stampa economica, ma decente) il libro che accompagnò la storica mostra al MoMA del 1976, vale a dire il momento storico in cui la fotografia a colori venne "sdoganata" in campo artistico. Corpus di immagini potente e importantissimo, in apertura un altrettanto fondamentale e celebre saggio di John Szarkowski in cui si analizza il tema dell'uso "descrittivo" del colore in fotografia, con alcune note particolarmente attente su Eggleston stesso (in particolare, l'aspetto diaristico della sua fotografia).… (plus d'informations)
The photographic selection is not - in my opinion - as good and consistent as the one contained in The Photographer's eye. But the distinction which gives the book its title (generated by the opposition between Minor White and Robert Frank) is fundamental for the history of photography.
