Appointed Joel and Anne Ehrenkranz Chief Curator of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 2020, Ch駻oux takes on a variety of topics, from the history of vernacular photography to the influence of documentary photography on Surrealism. These texts, newly translated into English and published together in one volume for the first time, reflect the breadth of Ch駻oux's thinking, the rigor of his approach, and his endless curiosity about photographs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this strikingly designed and generously illustrated volume, Ch駻oux presents unique case studies and untold stories. He discusses ways of sharing images, from the nineteenth century to the digital age; considers the utopian ideals of early photography; and analyzes the duality of amateur photography. Among other things, he describes the appeal of photographs snapped from a speeding train and explains historical value of first-generation prints of photographs. Through an analysis of key photographs taken on 9\/11, Ch駻oux shows that the same six images were seen again and again in the press. Widely ranging, erudite, and engaging, these essays present Ch駻oux's innovative investigations of the histories of photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clement Cheroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 026204577X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262045773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.37h x 7.24w x 0.79d","brand":"Clement Cheroux","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043040817407,"sku":"9780262045773","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6b3aa2e-8417-42ac-8536-54ad06eb9479.jpg?v=1684964932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/since-1839-clement-cheroux-9780262045773","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
