The Art of Looking - The Story of Photography

This special Ludion book takes you through the history of photography in a chronological presentation of over a hundred important photographers and their work. The photographers are highlighted and their photos are examined and commented on. The same principle as in the other books in the series. But Ian Jeffrey goes further. The critic and lecturer, a world authority on photography, also shows very well how the practice of photography has evolved over time, and according to which criteria. The story of the photographers and the photos is very fascinating in itself, but it is mainly Jeffrey's vision and conclusions that make 'The art of looking. The story of photography' such a special book. In addition, there are separate chapters devoted to pivotal moments in the history of photography, such as the two world wars.
