12 PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE AMERICAN SOCIAL LANDSCAPE
Thomas H. Garver (introduction)

Thomas H. Garver (introduction): 12 PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE AMERICAN SOCIAL LANDSCAPE. Waltham, MA: Brandeis University and the Poses Institute of Fine Arts, 1967. First edition. A fine softcover book in stiff, printed wrappers: an exceptional copy. Interior unmarked and very clean. Way out-of-print.

8.25 x 9.25 perect-bound softcover book with 6 pages of introduction followed by 48 pages of full-page, b/w gravure images. Catalogue from the landmark exhibition held at the Poses Art Museum, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, January 9-February 12, 1967.

A very important document in the history of American Documentary Photography. Highly recommended.

Book consists of 4-page portfolios by the following photographers:

A remarkably prescient show that featured the work of Bruce Davidson, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Danny Lyon, Duane Michals, and others. "This exhibition is based on things as they are," explains Thomas Garver in his introductions (borrowing a phrase from Henri Cartier-Bresson). "Many of the photographs are of the evanescent, events as minor in importance as they are fleeting in time. They are anti-news -- or at least, non-news -- things as they are rather than things as they should be, could be or are thought to be."
