Maybe this is the book that taught me the skills of thumbing through, skipping from one interesting part to another, and coming back later to reread and review. ( ) I believe I was a teenager when I first obtained this book, the record of a 1950s photographic collection showing how people around the world are part of a Family of Man (Human), that they have so much in common in their diversity. The text and the quotes, as well as the poignant pictures, spoke to me. The goal, in the face of possible world annihilation, to argue our commonality, touched me. In retrospect, perhaps it seems naive. There is more than a hint of colonialism in the selection. In retrospect, these outstanding photographs may suffer from the reproduction of so much black and white photography in a mass market edition as well. To some extent, these photographs are time capsule of a vanished time, the early 20th century. But to me, these photographs still have the power to stir powerful emotions. En samling flotte sort/hvid fotografier, 503 billeder fra 68 lande. Udvalgt af Edward Steichen. Introduktion af Edward Steichen. Forord af Carl Sandburg (Edward Steichens svoger). Billederne er krydrede med citater fra biblen, FN-charteret og forskellige filosoffer. Menneskene skildret som en stor familie med børn, skoleelever, gravide, spædbørn, landbrugere, arbejdere, rige, fattige, sorte, hvide, indianere, osv. Udstillingens foto findes nu i Luxembourg. Meget pudsigt tidsbillede. Der mangler nogle ting, men færre end man lige skulle tro fra en 1955-fotosamling. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Hailed as the most successful exhibition of photography ever assembled, The Family of Man opened at The Museum of Modern Art in January 1955. It was groundbreaking in its scope--503 images by 273 photographers originating in 69 countries--as well as in the numbers of people who experienced it on its tour through 88 venues in 37 countries. As the permanent embodiment of Edward Steichen's monumental exhibition, this publication reproduces all of the 503 images that Steichen described as "a mirror of the essential oneness of mankind throughout the world. Photographs made in all parts of the world, of the gamut of life from birth to death." To celebrate the 60th anniversary of this classic and inspiring work, MoMA is releasing this handsome hardcover edition. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
