Negative Positive
Title: GP
Review: A number of reviews have focused on the lack of narrative in this book. This assessment is correct. However, the book is a major chronology of the power and influence of photography, and is a visual treat. The quality of reproduction reflects its price and heritage, nevertheless, it contains, in a structure way, many powerful images. This is a very important book, but its style and contents are not for everyone. In particular, it contrasts significantly in style and tempo, with Szarkowski's other well known work - "Looking at Photographs - 100 Pictures from the Collection of the Museum of Modern Art".
