This is the most comprehensive study ever attempted of a vast and important subject: the modern era of American photography from the mid-1880s to the present. Lavishly illustrated, and printed to the highest technical standards in both tritone and full color, this authoritative volume presents a new perspective on the history of American photography that will be of interest to general audiences and scholars alike. Based in large part on photography's own literature, and supplemented with detailed source notes, it emphasizes the relationships between artists and aesthetic movements, and the intellectual and cultural climate in which photographers work. "An American Century of Photography" is an introduction to, and an original exploration of, the most vital age of American photography, which began just over a century ago with the advent of the dry-plate technology and the hand camera. Now, at the turn of the twenty-first century, photography is in the midst of another major technological change, one brought on by the impact of the computer. This remarkable evolution is documented here through a detailed discussion of important artists, images, and ideas. Accompanying the definitive text are state-of-the -art reproductions of 499 works, ranging from such iconic photographs as Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother" to a host of previously little-known or unpublished images. The variety of the selection greatly expands our understanding of the complexities and riches of American photography form the late nineteenth century to the present.
