Description
The Photographer's Eye by John Szarkowski is a landmark introduction to the visual language of photography. Originally published in 1966 and now available again, this duotone printing closely follows the original. Szarkowski's concise text complements skillfully selected photographs drawn from the entire history of the medium. Works by masters such as Cartier-Bresson, Evans, Steichen, Strand, and Weston are juxtaposed with vernacular documents to analyze fundamental challenges and opportunities faced by all photographers. This book is a significant publication by the legendary curator who worked at The Museum of Modern Art from 1962 to 1991.
