"A full-strength celebration of the medium of photography itself. Moving backward forward and sideways through photography's history weaves unexpected connections between artists as disparate as Duchamp and Eggleston Arbus and Nadar. Incorporating anonymous photographs as well as works by masters such as Watkins Brassai and the Bechers a visual testament to the past present and future relevance of the medium" Publisher's blurb . "True to Fraenkel's statement that the art form is based on 'photography's particular manner of describing things'. Documenting one man's connoisseurship this quiet handsome volume portrays Fraenkel's high standards and sheds light on the subtle mysterious relationships among eye lens and image through its careful selection of photographs" David Bryant . An absolute "must-have" title for photography book collectors. This title is a contemporary photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with tritone and color plates. Some of the greatest photographers in its history. A fine copy. SEE ALSO "SEEING THINGS" "FURTHERMORE" "THE PLOT THICKENS" AND OTHER FRAENKEL GALLERY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 1881337073.
