100 Masterpieces of Photography - In the collections of the Centre Pompidou

Description

Presenting one hundred masterpieces from the collection of the Musée national d'art moderne du Centre Pompidou, this book reflects the deliberately experimental spirit that guided the creation of a unique collection, from the works of now-famous photographers (from Arbus, Brassaï, Cartier-Bresson, Doisneau, Kertész and Man Ray to Paul Strand and Gursky) to those of major artistic figures (Brancusi, Duchamp, Magritte, Moholy-Nagy, Rodchenko and Boltanski). By highlighting a certain plurality of uses, this selection gives a rich and diverse overview of a history of modern and contemporary photography, from New Objectivity to current visual photography, including conceptual and documentary practices and digital research.
