Paperback. Condición: New. The story behind the most iconic American photobooks of the twentieth century. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, the Farm Security Administration (FSA) funded a now-famous photography project to document and highlight American rural life and its economic challenges. In time, the project launched a genre of works that incorporated photographic evidence and artistic documentation of rural poverty, highlighting the struggles and resilience of the American people during this period. Nearly a century later, these photographs have become largely synonymous with the Great Depression. In These Vivid American Documents, Joseph R. Millichap presents an illuminating examination of four photobooks born of this FSA project: Archibald MacLeish and Dorothea Lange's Land of the Free; Walker Evans and Lincoln Kirstein's American Photographs; Dorothea Lange and Paul Taylor's An American Exodus; and James Agee and Walker Evans's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Millichap includes in his analysis a curated selection of thirty-two photographs from these four photobooks, showcasing the realities of the social, individual, political, artistic, and economic aspects of that time. Through Millichap's thorough and insightful study, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the significant cultural and historical impact of this photographic project. Examining what are now historical American icons, like Walker Evans's portrait of Allie Mae Burroughs and Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother, Millichap leans into the intersections, tensions, and meanings that this particular era and medium encapsulate. His close comparison of the documentary and artistic purposes of the photobooks both analyzes how they balance text and imagery and offers a thoughtful study of the photographers and writers who produced them. These Vivid American Documents is an illuminating volume for scholars and general readers alike.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'This book is an analysis of a unique genre of books created by the Farm Security Administration when it paired up a well-known writer with a photographer and set them loose on interpreting some feature of contemporary American culture. Doubtless the most famous of these is James Agee and Walker Evans's Now Let Us Praise Famous Men, but there were a half-dozen others that are deserving of attention. The book goes into some detail about how the FSA came to commission these, what the daily working conditions of the projects were like, then provides close analysis of the meaning of the texts/photos. It is accompanied by 32 images by Evans, Dorothea Lange, and other photographers who achieved fame documenting the Great Depression'.
