Billie Holiday, eyes closed and head tilted back in full cry. John Coltrane, one hand behind his neck and a finger held pensively to his lips.

Mono: Black & White Photographic Album of New York
ISBN: 9781463414023 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Observing photographs of New York City in shades of gray only - in monochrome - perhaps the first impression to strike the viewer is how little the absence of color diminishes the city as conveyed to us by the sharp-eyed photographer. The gleam, the glitter, the grandeur of the soaring metropolis remain as powerful as ever; we feel only that with the saturated hues of the landscape removed, the lines, the forms and the geometry find greater room to assert themselves, their interplay rising to meet the eye all the more clearly.

Photography and Its Critics: A Cultural History, 1839-1900
ISBN: 9781107403383 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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.

In the last decades of the nineteenth century, photography underwent one of the most momentous transformations in its history, a renegotiation of the camera's relationship to the visible world. Reasoned and Unreasoned Images considers in detail the work of three photographic investigators who developed new uses for the medium that centered on "the photography of the invisible" Alphonse Bertillon, Francis Galton, and Etienne-Jules Marey.
