{"product_id":"the-photograph-9780192842008","title":"The Photograph","description":"How do we read a photograph? In this rich and fascinating work, Graham Clarke gives a clear and incisive account of the photograph's historical development, and elucidates the insights of the most engaging thinkers on the subject, such as Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag. From the first misty\u003cbr\u003eheliograph taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1826 to the classic compositions of Cartier-Bresson and Alfred Steiglitz and the striking postmodern strategies of Robert Mapplethorpe, Clarke provides a groundbreaking examination of photography's main subject areas--landscape, the city, portraiture, \u003cbr\u003ethe body, and reportage--as well as a detailed analysis of exemplary images in terms of their cultural and ideological contexts. With over 130 illustrations, \u003cem\u003eThe Photograph\u003c\/em\u003e offers a series of discussions of major themes and genres providing an up-to-date introduction to the history of photography\u003cbr\u003eand creating a record of the most dazzling, penetrating, and pervasive images of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.62w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192842008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/1997 pg. 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/1997 pg. 1639\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/1997 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGraham Clarke\u003c\/strong\u003e, Reader in Literary and Image Studies at the University of Kent, Canterbury, serves on the advisory board of the journal, \u003cem\u003eHistory of Photography\u003c\/em\u003e.
