Photography is an international cultural form, practice, and profession. <br />
Encompassing art, advertising, journalism, fashion, commercial, political, and <br />
everyday photography, the field of photography also includes chemical processes, <br />
mechanical inventions, equipment, industries, movements, techniques, terms and <br />
concepts. In addition, photography has a considerable presence in public forums <br />
of all kinds, such as museums, archives, galleries, and publications.<br />
<br />
The Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century Photography brings together this rich <br />
history in three volumes. It explores the vast international scope of twentieth<br />
-century photography and explains that history with a wide-ranging, <br />
interdisciplinary manner. This unique approach covers the aesthetic history of <br />
photography as an evolving art and documentary form, while also recognizing it <br />
as a developing technology and cultural force. This three volume Encyclopedia <br />
presents the important developments, movements, photographers, <br />
photographicinstitutions, and theoretical aspects of the field along with <br />
information about equipment, techniques, and practical applications of <br />
photography. To bring this history alive for the reader, the set is illustrated <br />
in black and white throughout, and each volume contains a color plate section. A <br />
useful glossary of terms is also included.<br />
