About This Item
Aperture (Thames) 2011. HB, 292 x 241 mm, 288 p, 350 colour illustrations, ENG edition, NEW, . ISBN 9781597111317. As photography became an increasingly accessible medium in the 20th century, the popularity of the photographic album exploded, yielding a wonderful range of objects made for varying purposes-to memorialize, document (officially or unofficially), promote, or educate, and sometimes simply to channel creative energy. Photographic Memory traces the rise of the album from the turn of the century to the present day, showcasing some of the most important examples in the history of the medium. From an Alaskan expedition album of Edward Sheriff Curtis's early work, to Walker Evans's extended suite of images in study for Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, to a family album by Danny Lyon, this beautifully produced book provides an in-depth look at the history of photography through the handmade objects of some its most famous practitioners, much of which is previously unpublished. The book includes albums by photographers and filmmakers such as F. Holland Day, Jim Goldberg, Dorothea Lange, Duane Michals, Leni Riefenstahl, and W. Eugene Smith alongside lesser-known, yet significant albums on subjects as varied as African American vaudeville, the 1915 Jerusalem locust plague, and the folkways of Spain.
