About the Item

Published by the Museum of Modern Art, 1st edition, New York, 1945. Hardback, English text. This exhibition catalogue is the first critical monograph issued by MoMA on a photographer. It was published in conjunction with a planned series of one-man focal retrospectives to bring some of the prominent American and European photographers to the fore, and photography has since then entered the category of fine art as far as MoMA is concerned. A catalyst and legend among his peers and the photography world at large, Strand’s revelatory photography captures a subtle change of mood, a slipt-second thought; his ‘nature morta’ of a kitchen bowl, a white picket fence, firmly placed in a rectangular theme, has obsessed a generation of photographers. A pioneer of modernist photography, Strand fostered a close relationship with Alfred Stieglitz, this catalogue captures the confluence of their artistic styles. Complemented with an essay by Nancy Newhall, the celebrated American photography critic and then incumbent curator of the MoMA, this illuminating book is imbued with history and meanings.
