Originalbroschur. Zustand: Sehr gut. 148 S. Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - WHETHER CATEGORIZED as fine art, documentary, or commercial, photographs are a constant in the visual experience of contemporary life. So pervasive are commercial photographs that they are rarely afforded more than cursory recognition. With the benefit of historical and contextual perspectives, a fuller understanding of their significance is possible. Retail Fictions: The Commercial Photography of Ralph Bartholomew Jr. examines the work of a single photographer who expanded the vocabulary of commercial image-making while setting new standards for technology and innovation. Tim B. Wride, assistant curator of photography and organizer of this exhibition, demonstrates how Bartholomew masterfully manipulated emerging technologies, issues of identity, and references to popular culture to create visually arresting photographs. He also argues that Bartholomew's work- done for prestigious agencies and exponentially reproduced through the gargantuan circulation of popular magazines - exercised enormous influence and occasioned considerable imitation.
