"Photographer" is a collection of works by Ed Ruscha, one of the leading contemporary artists of the 20th century. "I'm not Really a Photographer." These are Ed Ruscha's own words, and also the title of an article he wrote for the magazine "Times" in 1972. While his main works were graphic arts, pop art, printmaking, and drawing, and he insisted that "photography is a hobby," it was also an important medium for him. The series of small books he self-published from the 1960s to the 1970s later influenced many artists. In Japan, Takashi Homma and others have published a series inspired by Ruscha's work, and there are even collections of works that introduce many books influenced by the Ruscha series. This book attempts to explore how Ruscha, a multi-talented artist, viewed things from the perspective of a "photographer," how his work relates to his paintings, prints, and other art pieces, and ultimately, what single vision guides it all. The first edition was published in 2006, and this is the 2013 edition.
