TextPublication details: New Haven, Conn. : Yale University Press, 2008Description: ix, 409 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 28 cmISBN: 9780300136845 (hbk.) :; 0300136846 (hbk.) :Subject(s): Photography, Artistic | Photography -- PhilosophyDDC classification: 770.1 Summary: From the late 1970s onward, serious art photography began to be made at large scale and for the wall. Michael Fried argues that this immediately compelled photographers to grapple with issues centering on the relationship between the photograph and the viewer standing before it that until then had been the province only of painting. Not all will agree with Fried's argument however, nor with his choice of art photographs, some of which are very ordinary-looking.
