T&HFL12 After a lifetime of working on a series of “collective portraits” in far-flung places such as Mexico; Ghana; Italy; Tir a’Mhurain, Scotland; and his adoptive country, France, an aging Paul Strand decided to concentrate on still lifes and the stony beauty of his own garden at Orgeval, France, as a site in which to distill his discoveries as a photographer. The work that constitutes The Garden at Orgeval is marked by close and careful study of the forms and patterns within nature—of tiny buttonshaped flowers, cascading winter branches, and fierce snarls of twigs. While the images bear the same directness and precise vision that is quintessentially Strand, the work also reflects a growing metaphorical turn. Renowned photographer Joel Meyerowitz—whose own affinity toward Strand’s Orgeval series stems from a lifetime of photographing in different genres and ultimately returning to nature as an enduring subject—will select the photographs in the book, and respond to them in an accompanying personal essay, reflecting on issues, including the contemplation of one’s garden and growing old. Beautifully produced in a modest size, in the manner of a volume of poems, this book’s task is to do credit to Strand’s final work, both as an individual and as a key figure in Modernist photography.

The Aperture Masters of Photography Series has become a touchstone of Aperture’s longstanding commitment to introducing the history and art of photography to a broader public. Each volume provides an ongoing comprehensive view of the artists who have helped shape the medium. Initially presented as the History of Photography Series in 1976, the first volume featured Henri Cartier-Bresson and was edited by legendary French publisher Robert Delpire, who cofounded the series with Aperture’s own Michael Hoffman. Twenty volumes have been published in total, each of them devoted to an image-maker whose achievements have accorded them vital importance in the history of photography. Each volume presents an evocative selection of the photographer’s life’s work, introduced with a foreword by a notable curator or historian of each artist. The series will be relaunched in Fall 2014, beginning with books on Paul Strand and Dorothea Lange, elegantly updated and refreshed for today’s photography-hungry audiences, and introducing new, image-by-image commentary and chronologies of the artists’ lives for each of the previously published titles. The series will also include entirely new titles on individual artists. The Aperture Masters of Photography Series is an unparalleled library of both historical and contemporary photographers, and serves as an accessible compilation for anyone studying the history of photography.

For Paul Strand, the great pioneer of Modernism, the summers of 1926 and 1930-1932 were a return to experimentation and periods of great artistic growth. He worked in makeshift darkrooms--one in a hotel basement and another above the Taos movie theater. The Southwest period brought not only artistic renewal, but also personal turmoil. His political and social ideas were shifting, and his relationship with the two most important people in his life--his wife Rebecca and his mentor Alfred Stieglitz--were disintegrating. This book reconstructs, in an intimate, visual way, the emotional and creative swirl around Paul Strand, through beautiful reproductions of his images from the period and a comprehensive collection of notes, illustrations and ephemera. While a handful of Strand's Southwest photographs have been previously published, this period of his outstanding career remains largely unexplored. "Paul Strand Southwest" presents many images for the first time, including dramatic landscapes, decayed ghost towns, the noble architecture of adobe churches and his final austere portraits of Rebecca.

Formuleringar eller begrepp som låter ana något dolt eller förborgat har alltid lockat till nyfikenhet och eftertanke. Denna bok tar avstamp hos filosofen Michael Polanyi och hans sätt att beskriva den tysta kunskapen och dess innebörd.Inom ramen för en diskussion om praktiknära forskning sökte författarna efter användbara begrepp som kunde ge analytiska ingångar till en fördjupad förståelse av skolan och dess praktiska verksamhet. Ju mer de iakttog och försökte förstå yrkesmässiga praktiker, och ju mer de diskuterades, desto mer variationsrika, komplexa och mångtydiga framstod de. Den professionella praktiken verkade spegla en annan form av kunskap än den explicit uttryckta. Viss kunskap går heller inte att överföra med ord till andra, som när man lär sig att cykla. Ibland vet vi mer än vi kan säga. Hur lärs kunskap respektive tyst kunskap?Ur olika forskares och filosofers sätt att förstå och tala om den tysta kunskapen framträder både rörelser och spänningar. Inte minst som den tysta kunskapen utgjort något av en motvikt till den rationalistiska tanke som följt den moderna industriutvecklingen, som nu också är på god väg att ta över skola och högre utbildning.Bokens texter erbjuder ett sätt att börja tala om den tysta sidan av den professionella kunskapen. Författarnas olika erfarenheter speglas i innehållet som både ger ett teoretiskt-filosofiskt perspektiv och ett mer praktiknära. Vad som håller samman helheten är begreppet tyst kunskap. I detta ligger för övrigt en av bokens poänger: tyst kunskap är inte bara teoretisk eller bara praktisk den är både och.Anders Persson är professor i utbildningsvetenskap resp. sociologi vid Lunds universitet.
