FLIP BOOL, MATTIE BOOM, E.A. - Dutch Eyes / Engelse editie. A Critical History of Photography in the Netherlands

Title: Dutch Eyes / Engelse editie. A Critical History of Photography in the Netherlands
Description: Uitgeverij WBOOKS, 2007. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 576. Do Dutch eyes look differently? Is there such a thing as specifically Dutch photography? What is the character of the rich photographic tradition of the Netherlands and of the national photographic climate? These questions have become all the more pressing since so much international attention has been devoted to Dutch photography. Until now, the history of photography in the Netherlands has been described only in part. Dutch Eyes: A Critical History of Photography in the Netherlands paints a vivid picture of developments, events and key figures in Dutch photography from 1839 to the present day, within their social, economic, technological, cultural and historical context. The book is organised around ten themes, including photography and the city, engagement, colonial photography and the perception of the 'other', the landscape, the photobook as a collaborative project and the relationship between photography and art. These themes focus partly on particular periods, yet at the same time provide starting points for tracing the course of developments in the past and interpreting modern advances. The book does not therefore follow a strictly chronological order, but largely discusses subjects within a thematic context. The chapters are punctuated by box texts about influential photographers, exhibitions, remarkable techniques, photojournalism, photography magazines and publishers. The book contains over six hundred superb photographs by more than two hundred photographers. The best works have been selected from the most important Dutch photography collections, including the Nederlands Fotomuseum, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum, the Print Room of Leiden University Library and the Amsterdam City Archives. This publication is an invaluable source of information and enjoyment for anyone interested in photography and visual culture.
