Description: "The photographs in this book are divided into three groups. The "illustrative" pieces, drawn from popular magazines such as Life and Look , reflect those magazines' emphasis on eye-catching color and celebrities. The "documentary" photos, visual equivalents of dog bites man, offer photojournalism's emphasis on dramatic action. Finally, the "expressive" shots offer the self-consciously "art" photography of Ansel Adams, Elliot Porter, and others."--Library Journal.
Notes: Published in conjunction with the exhibition, "Master photographs from 'Photography in the Fine Arts' exhibitions, 1959-67," organized by the International Center of Photography.
