How do we read a photograph? Graham Clarke gives a clear and incisive account of the photograph's historical development from Joseph Nicphore Nipce's early `heliograph' to the classic compositions of Cartier-Bresson and Alfred Steiglitz, to the striking post-modern strategies of Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, and Victor Burgin. This book is a ground-breaking examination of the main subject areas - landscape, the city, portraiture, the body, and reportage - with detailed analysis of exemplary images in terms of their cultural and ideological contexts.

Recensioner i media

The Bookseller A readable text discusses the way in which we see and interpret photographs.

Independent on Sunday Fully and often surprisingly illustrated, carefully annotated and captioned, each combines a historical overview with a nicely opinionated individual approach.

House & Garden Read this book and you will never look at a photograph in the same way again.

The Irish Times (Dublin) concise yet comprehensive, and wonderful value

V. Penelope Pelizzon, British Journal for the Philosophy of Science Vol.40 No.2 An engaging, image-studded survey... Clarke is particularly good at playing two images off against one another to emphasise the cultural assumptions underlying each... Clarke raises fascinating questions about how the portrait seeks to encode social identity. In his representation of landscape, he deftly covers both the picturesque tradition and its opposite, the scientific orientation that viewed photography as a means of mapping and administering land.

Yorkshire Post (Leeds) Clarke does an admirable job of condensing theoretical debates concerning the reading of images

Swansea South Wales Evening Post An important part of the Oxford History of Art series ... It's an enormous subject, but it's tackled in a tremendously accessible manner. A must for anyone interested in taking seriously good pictures.

Rupert Christiansen, Spectator a superb piece of publishing
