Andre Kertesz
ISBN: 9780500410639 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Andre Kertesz is one of the figures who shaped modern photography. From the First World War onwards, his independent spirit led him to practice an art based on spontaneity and sincerity, seeking out the chance moments that "capture the true nature of things." Tender, nostalgic, modest, he forged a new path for photography, a kind of poetic realism that was neither forced nor showy. "I never document," he said. "I give my own interpretation."

Don McCullin
ISBN: 9780500410899 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. War photography is not a profession; it is a way of getting at the truth of the human condition, as close as possible to man, to his hopes and fears, his ignorance and his beliefs. This closeness may be because showing the death of others means risking one's own life. Don McCullin always understood that war is hell. His images from Vietnam, Northern Ireland, and other scenes of conflict have the beauty of classical tragedies: they speak of horror and absurdity.

Photography and its Critics: A Cultural History, 1839–1900
ISBN: 9780521550437 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Photography and its Critics offers an original overview of nineteenth-century American and European writing about photography from such disparate fields as art theory, social reform, and physiology. In this study, Mary Warner Marien argues that photography was an important social and cultural symbol for modernity and change in several fields, such as art and social reform. Moreover, she demonstrates how photography quickly emerged as a pliant symbol for modernity and change, one that could as easily oppose progress as promote democracy.

Edward S. Curtis and the North American Indian, Incorporated
ISBN: 9780521775731 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From the 1890s onward, Edward S. Curtis took thousands of photographs of Native Americans all over the West. These were published (1907-1930) in twenty volumes of illustrated text and twenty portfolios of photographs; the project was supported by Theodore Roosevelt and funded in part by J. Pierpont Morgan, and spawned exhibitions, postcards, magazine articles, lecture series, a "musicale," and the very first narrative documentary film. Neither a eulogy to Curtis' achievement nor a debunking of it, this book is an honest study of the project as a collective whole.
