PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Perich, associate curator of the Smithsonian's Photographic History Collection, looks at how photographic subjects, techniques, uses, and approaches have changed from the mid-19th to the 21st century by studying nine iconic photographers: Juliet Margaret Cameron, Dorothea Lange, Richard Avedon, George K. Warren, Gertrude Käsebier, Nicholas Murray, Henry Horenstein, Lauren Greenfield, and Robert Weingarten. Perich's fine introduction notes how photographs represents "a complex balance of culture, technology, artistic intention, personal and consumer use, and historical context." She explores these factors in essays on each photographer, providing biographical information that proves particularly helpful in parsing the images. Of Lange, for example, she suggests that the photographer's empathy for the Depression-era poor was partly based on her own suffering--she was stricken by polio as a child and was deeply scarred by her father's desertion of the family. While one can argue with Perich's choices--why no W. Eugene Smith or Diane Arbus?--she has unquestionably produced an important, well-written, and aesthetically pleasing work. (Oct.) CHOICEA richly illustrated volume examines the portrait work of Dorthea lange, Richard Avedon, Robert Weingarten, George K. Warren, Julia Margaret Cameron, the Barr & Wright Studio, Gertrude Käseebier, Nickolas Muray, Henry Horenstein, and Lauren Greenfiled. The Changing Face of Portrait Photography explores the power of the portrait and the role it plays in our personal and national identities.
The Changing Face of Portrait Photography explores ten groups of portraits selected from within the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's Photographic History Collection. The selections represent work by specific photographers with diverse relationships to portraiture, and through their sampling take a focused look at changing convention, theory, and technologies.
