Quatrième de couverture

Contemporary photography - which originally emerged from performance art - has developed over the last fifty years into one of the most intriguing phenomena in today's artistic landscape. Demonstrating the unabated power of art to regenerate itself, this relatively recent art form has been reenergized by talented visual artists, many of whom reference back to the history of traditional photography. Photography infuses every aspect of contemporary life ; its experimental, dissident, and modern "spirit" now feeds into photojournalism, fashion photography, and advertising alike.

This engaging and instructive book, richly illustrated throughout, offers fascinating insight into the evolution of photography since the 1960s, examining a vast range of genres, techniques, and practices, and providing the basis for a deeper understanding of contemporary photography's role in society.
