Through his amazing variety of innovative images, photographer Paul Strand (1890-1976)
played a crucial role in establishing the medium's significance as a modern art form.
Celebrating the recent acquisition of the core print collection of the Paul Strand
Archive by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this stunning book comprehensively reassesses
the artist's career in light of current scholarship and critical debates about his
work. Featuring more than 250 plates, the catalogue includes many of Strand's iconic
early photos such as 'Wall Street' and 'Blind Woman' alongside lesser-known master
prints from all phases of his career. Discussing the artist's prolific career, from
his emergence in Alfred Stieglitz's circle in New York in the early part of the century
to his years spent working abroad in Mexico, France, Italy and Africa, Peter Barberie
positions Strand as a remarkably independent modernist whose priorities shifted at
several points and were often counter to prevailing trends. Amanda N. Bock focuses
on the years 1930-50, when Strand thoroughly explored the role of politics in modern
art and relentlessly sought to identify the greater purposes of photography and filmmaking.
The edited transcript from a roundtable discussion among key scholars touches upon
many aspects of Strand's various projects from the 1930s to the 1960s
