Révéler | Collection de photographies du Centre Pompidou

Description

This book examines the history of photography from the perspective of what makes the photographic medium unique. Drawing on the rich collection of the National Museum of Modern Art, it explores, in turn, the status of the photographic image, its modes of reproduction, its places of production, and, finally, the identities it reveals.

Featuring essays by the exhibition curators, four thematic documentary sections, and detailed texts on some sixty major international artists-including a significant number of women photographers-this book, through its embrace of subjectivity and interdisciplinarity, openness, and surprises, profoundly renews our perspective on photography.
