City and protagonist are cut from the same coarse cloth. They are the series' two heroes." Amos Walker's Detroit... Amos Walker's Detroit visits dozens of unforgettable locations from Loren D.

Shooting from the Hip: Photography, Masculinity, and Postwar America
ISBN: 9780816643028 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Shooting from the Hip, Patricia Vettel-Becker reveals how photography helped to reconstruct and redefine the American idea of masculinity after the traumas of World War II. She argues that from 1945 to 1960 photography became increasingly concerned with restoring the male body and psyche, glorifying traditional masculinity - cowboys, boxers, athletes, military men - while treading carefully in an increasingly homophobic Cold War climate. Examining photojournalism as well as art and fashion photography, Shooting from the Hip finds in the crisp images of postwar photography five models of...
