Description
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts holds the Upper Midwestâ?Ts most significant permanent collection of fine photographs. Covering the entire history of the medium, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. This beautiful book opens with an 1845 salt print by the English inventor William Henry Fox Talbot and closes with a 2002 color portrait by Alec Soth from his series Sleeping by the Mississippi. In between, selected images represent the genres of documentary photography, photojournalism, and street photography. Included are Dorothea Langeâ?Ts â?oMigrant Motherâ?? and Arthur Rothsteinâ?Ts â?oDust Storm,â?? as well as Edward Westonâ?Ts â?oPepper No. 30â?? and Ansel Adamsâ?Ts â?oMoonrise, Hernandez.â?? Commemorating the collecting legacy of Carroll T. (Ted) Hartwell (1933â?"2007), the founding curator of the museumâ?Ts department of photographs, this book reveals Hartwellâ?Ts critical eye for singular historical photographs and his belief in the influence and vitality of accomplished contemporary photographers. In an introductory essay, Christian A. Peterson recounts the history of the museumâ?Ts photography collection and Hartwellâ?Ts indelible imprint on the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
