Reading Photography PDF
By:Sri-Kartini Leet
Published on 2011 by Lund Humphries Publishers

The relatively new medium of photography has generated, from its inception, intense debate over its merits as an art form. In Reading Photography, Sri-Kartini Leet brings together over 100 extracts from writings on different themes in the medium to explore the history of the art of photography. This fascinating sourcebook introduces the reader to a broad and enriching range of art-historical comment engendered by the photograph, from Edward Weston, Maholy-Nagy, Raoul Haussmann and Man Ray writing in the 1920s and 1930s, to the texts of contemporary commentators such as Lucy Lippard, Griselda Pollock and Ian Jeffrey. In its entirety this comprehensive volume charts the changing perception of the medium over nearly a century: the role of photography in the development of modernism; its appropriation by the Surrealists as a vehicle for aesthetic experimentation; the inclusion of photography in post-modernism to question traditional notions of what constitutes art; the use of landscape and the city as photographic subjects to represent political, social and psychological states; the acceptance of colour as an expressive art medium from the 1960s onwards; and the impact of the digital age.
