This is the indispensable bible of photography in the 20th century. The history of photography began over a century and a half ago, but only relatively recently has it been fully recognised as a medium in its own right. Cologne's Museum Ludwig was the first museum of contemporary art to devote a substantial section to international photography. The L. Fritz Gruber collection, from which this book is drawn, is one of the most important in Germany and one of the most representative anywhere in the world, constituting the core of the museum's holdings. This book provides a fascinating insight into the collection's rich diversity; from conceptual art to abstraction to reportage, all of the major movements and genres are represented via a vast selection of the century's most remarkable photographs. From Ansel Adams to Piet Zwart, over 850 works are presented in alphabetical order by photographer, with descriptive texts and photographers' biographical details, providing a comprehensive and indispensable overview of 20th century photography.

网友对20th Century Photography的评论

除了开本小点，书的硬件没问题，纸张、印刷、文字图片的编排都好。
然而，书中选取的多一半作品看起来都很压抑，晦暗、阴沉、让人呼吸困难。
20世纪真有这么绝望么？伟大作品都得是阴暗的么？
再说，时代进步了，所谓的经典，至少有一半，看起来也不怎么样。
所以，这本书，对于不想学习摄影历史的人来说，可有可无。
想提高技术水平和审美水平的，找别的书吧。

挺不错的，应该是正品，是英文版的。

不错，挺全的，是本导读，可以自己延伸去查找喜欢的人的作品。

every time I look into this book, I see something new

I noticed the book several years ago in a clothing store, the GAP , I believe. The edition I saw was a full size, coffee table format. Now that I can afford to purchase one for myself, I cannot find the full sized edition. The material of the book is first rate. The new format, however, does not allow for a relaxed read - one has to almost crack the binding to open the book sufficiently to read it. The information and photography in this book deserve a larger and more accessible format.

This is a wonderful collection of photographs. I was a little disappointed as a number of non-continental photographers, obviously not part of the collecion in Cologne, could not be included in this volume. I was also disappointed in the biographical sketches as they were sparse and filled with antiseptic information, but this was due more to a space restriction than conscience oversight.
All in all an excellent volume.
