A photo book edited by John Szarkowski, former director of photography at MoMA. MoMA has been a pioneer in introducing photographic art to art museums where paintings were the norm. John Szarkowski became the director of the photography department after Pomont Newhall and Edward Steichen. He has had a decisive influence on the excavation of past photographers and their works, the introduction of photographic expressions that will shape the present and future, and especially on new photographic trends such as new documentaries since the 1960s. This book is a collection of photos from an exhibition held in 1964, and is a masterpiece that has made its mark on the history of 20th century photography. It is a significant work that proposes the photographer's perspective and the way of looking at photography by dividing it into five parts: The Thing Itself, The Detail, The Frame, Time, and Vantage Point. The profound prints made using photogravure printing are also excellent. One of Szarkowski's great achievements is that he expressed specialized photographic art in simple words and presented a new perspective that is easy to understand for viewers. First published in 1966. Featured in "The Photobook: A History Volume Ⅱ."
