Over the past twenty-five years, the internationally renowned Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has been an explorer of unfamiliar places where human activity has reshaped the surface of the land. His astonishing large-scale color photographs of the landscapes of mining, quarrying, railcutting, recycling, oil refining, and shipbreaking uncover a stark, almost sublime beauty in the residue of industrial “progress.” The implicit social and environmental upheavals that underlie these images make them powerful emblems of our times. This handsome catalogue of the first major retrospective of Burtynsky’s work features essays by Lori Pauli, Kenneth Baker, and Mark Haworth-Booth, as well as a wide-ranging interview with the artist by Michael Torosian. The book includes sixty-four color plates.

The Art of Lee Miller

This is the most scholarly, accessible, and exciting writing on Lee Miller to date.” ---Anthony Penrose, Lee Miller Archives Lee Miller (1907--1977) was one of the most remarkable photographic artists of the 20th century. She created Surrealist-inspired photographs of haunting originality, portraits of genius, and daring war photographs. This unprecedented book brings together all of Miller’s major vintage prints for the first time, including sensational works never before published, rare and revealing drawings, selections from Miller’s writings as a war correspondent for Vogue magazine, and an extraordinary collage from 1937. Miller performed with unique success on both sides of the camera. A renowned beauty, she began her career being photographed as a fashion and fine art model by such luminaries as Arnold Genthe and Edward Steichen, stunning examples of which are included in this book. Miller moved to Paris in 1928, determined to take up photography; there she became the apprentice, collaborator, and muse of Man Ray. In the 1930s and ’40s, Miller shot remarkable portraits of such iconic figures as Marlene Dietrich, Charlie Chaplin, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí. Turning her Surrealist eye to unexpected photographic subjects, she earned major commissions from American and European fashion magazines and also became a respected photo-journalist. Miller’s startling images of the Dachau concentration camp are among the most powerful records of the Holocaust. Published in conjunction with the centenary of Miller’s birth, this beautifully designed and produced book is an essential survey of this fascinating woman’s life and career.

The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&amp;A) has one of the finest and oldest collections of photography in the world. In this fascinating book, Mark Haworth-Booth, Curator of Photographs at the V&amp;A, offers the first comprehensive introduction to this extensive and impressive collection. In the process, he provides the reader with a general history of photography from its beginnings as a scientific curiosity, through its international commercialization, to its coming of age as an art form in its own right.
Because of the V&amp;A's uniquely long collecting history--dating back to 1856--many different epochs of photography's shifting identity can clearly be seen in this book. Reminding us that photography was not always viewed as a serious artistic medium, Haworth-Booth explores the changes and shifts in the perception of photography that have occurred over the years. In the 1850s, photography was a new and malleable medium that could result in anything from fine art to a commercial fortune. In the 1860s, photography became an industry practiced worldwide, but its new commercial status inspired creative radicals like Julia Margaret Cameron to emphasize its artistic potential instead. By the 1930s, photography became the dominant medium for mass communication, as a result of illustrated magazines. Photography returned as a fashionable medium for fine art in the 1960s--the same year television superseded magazines as the primary disseminator of information.
The V&amp;A's Victorian holdings are outstanding, with major photographs by Roger Fenton, David Octavius Hill, Robert Adamson, Julia Margaret Cameron, Gustave Le Gray, Camille Silvy, and Lady Hawarden. In recent years, the museum has acquired significant works by such twentieth-century master photographers as Bill Brandt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Martin, Walker Evans, Paul Strand, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, and Cecil Beaton. A number of these photographs are published here for the first time.

In 1996 Bruce Bernard was commissioned to create a collection of photographs for an eminent private collector. After years of searching, at galleries, art fairs and auction houses, he settled on one hundred images that 'truly stimulated and satisfied' him. This extraordinary and timeless selection offers an unusual insight into photography. It also demonstrates Bruce Bernard's love and respect for the medium and his exceptional ability to identify pictures that are imbued with sensitivity, humanity and intelligence.

The theme of Walls and Windows encompasses a wide range of subject matter: mannequins in shop windows, fragments of torn posters, shop fronts, urban building sites. Despite their diversity, the photographs in this collection display some of the central preoccupations of Dorothy Bohm's work: an acute sense of observation for the detail of everyday life; a fascination with surfaces and reflections, and an eye for painterly textures; a subtle, often witty exploration of spatial ambiguity; and the ability to capture the moment, to encapsulate in a single image the mood of a place.

American-born Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954) was one of the most gifted and internationally admired graphic artists of the 20th century. His work-synonymous with radical innovation, superb use of color, and accomplished design-dominated the posters seen around Britain between 1920 and 1950. This definitive and lavishly illustrated biography is the first to trace Kauffer's life and showcase his best work-posters, book illustrations, and theater designs.Mark Haworth-Booth explores this complex individual and his relationship with clients and friends-among them T. S. Eliot, Roger Fry, Aldous Huxley, and Marianne Moore-who championed his insistence that the highest visual values be enlisted in the field of advertising. Complete with a list of Kauffer's published works, this volume is not only a remarkable biography of a great designer but also a valuable reference.

The subject of this book, which is the first to be devoted to a single photograph, is Camille Silvy's remarkable River Scene. Hailed as a masterpiece when it was first exhibited in France in 1859, the photograph is accompanied here by newly commissioned color photographs by noted photographer Stephen Shore. In a provocative essay, Haworth-Booth discusses the history of the photograph in the context of attitudes of the day toward photography and photographic exhibitions, outlines the influences on Silvy, and examines his eventual influence on others. This is the third book in the Getty Museum Studies on Art (GMSA) series.
