Photography and its purposes
14.99 €
The book by British writer and art critic John Birger (1926-2017), specially compiled by the author for Russian readers, includes essays from different years devoted to photography, the principles of the functioning of the postwar art system, and some important figures of twentieth-century culture, from Mayakovsky to Le Corbusier. The texts, mostly written in the 1960s, contain both reactions to the events of that time (the death of Che Guevara, the publication of Susan Sontag's book On Photography) and more universal works on art theory and history ("The Cubist Moment," "The Historical Function of the Museum"), which have not lost their relevance to this day.
