Spanning from 1856 to 2017, this beautifully illustrated book includes iconic photographs by pioneers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, alongside contemporary innovators like Edward Burtynsky and Vik Muniz. Structured around five thematic chapters – ranging from motion and time to war, the body, industry, and nature – the book offers an expansive and accessible narrative of photography’s evolution in both form and function. Drawn from the well-known and prestigious collection of Lee Marks and John C. DePrez Jr. recently donated to the Eskenazi Museum of Art, the catalogue is designed for a broad audience, with more than 100 beautifully reproduced plates, insightful essays, and a candid interview with the collectors that reflects on how photography has changed, both as a medium and a market.
