"Ça a débuté comme ça, le 5 mai 1970. Avec cette photographie prise à Plonéour-Lanvern de ce paysage urbain traversé par un bus et un distributeur de tout et de rien, échoué par hasard devant une maison. Cela s'est poursuivi très vite par des images de Françoise, compagne du photographe, dès juillet 1971 à Salers, jusqu'en avril 2000, dans une chambre d'hôtel à Palmyre en Syrie. Portraits, autoportraits à travers le monde, tantôt rapproc ..."
"Mysterious, introspective, fiercely private, and self-taught, street photographer William Gedney (1932–1989) produced impressive series of images focused on people whose lives were overlooked, hidden, or reduced to stereotypes. He was convinced that photography was a means of expression as efficient as literature, and his images were accompanied by writings, essays, excerpts from books, and aphorisms. Gedney avoided self-promotion, and ..."
Aaron Siskind by GillesMora, Charles Traub Hardcover, 200 Pages, Published 2014 by Yale University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-300-21090-3, ISBN: 0-300-21090-6
"Aaron Siskind (1903-1991), teacher, journalist and photographer, was an artist of great originality, unprecedented in American photography. This has tended to result in his work being misinterpreted, balanced as it is between the influences of Walker Evans and Moholy Nagy. It ranges from the early documentary realism of the 1930s to the experimental and difficult abstract work of the 1950s. In this handsomely illustrated book, the autho ..."

"The photography that Americans invented in the 1960s and ’70s was as fresh and vital as their music. Photographers of those years believed in their medium’s unlimited capacities of expression. Between the publication of Robert Frank’s The Americans (1958) and the coming of post-modernism, the photographers featured in this book embarked on their own personal quests. Whether they roamed the world, like Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand ..."

Thousands of FSA photographs have been exhibited and publis ..."
"Bernard Plossu, born in Vietnam in 1945, is one of today's best-known French photographers. His photos reflect locales he has visited all over the world: Senegal, Turkey, Poland, Mexico, Guatemala, and the American West. The photographs here were taken by Plossu in the late 1970s and are images of New Mexico--where the sun, the dust, the rain, the mud, the wind, the snow, the altitude (7,000 feet), and the smells forge a uniqueness."Ber ..."

"Considered one of the most significant painters of the period between the two world wars and founder of the precisionist school, Charles Sheeler (1883-1965) was also one of the pivotal photgraphers of the modernist movement in America. His direct style can be likened to that of his contemporaries Paul Strand, Edward Weston and Edward Steichen and he is probably best known for documenting the transformation of the American urban landscap ..."

"Aaron Siskind (1903–1991) was a major figure in the history of American photography. A leading documentary photographer who was active in the New York Photo League in the 1930s, Siskind moved beyond the social realism of his early work as he increasingly came to view photography as a visual language of signs, metaphors, and symbols—the equivalent of poetry and music. Through the forties and ifties, he developed new techniques to photogr ..."
