Twentieth-Century American Photography. Flags of America

It will be the first of two books (the second forthcoming in 2014) that seek to illustrate the outstanding quality and variety of the works which have marked American photography from the mid-20th century to the present day.
This first volume presents a detailed and annotated selection of works executed between the 1940s and 1970s by 18 photographers of undisputed importance - from Edward Weston and Robert Frank to Minor White and Garry Winogrand, from Lee Friedlander down to Stephen Shore - whose pursuits represent benchmarks in the history of contemporary photography.
As in the case of other titles in the series, the reproductions of all the works are accompanied by a critical apparatus with texts discussing the area, artists and research explored.
The volume includes works by: Ansel Adams, Robert Adams, Wynn Bullock, Harry Callahan, Paul Caponigro, Bruce Davidson, Roy DeCarava, Van Deren Coke, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, John Gossage, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Richard Misrach, Stephen Shore, Aaron Siskind, Edward Weston, Minor White, and Garry Winogrand.
