Kenneth Josephson
by Sylvia Wolf
Kenneth Josephson has been called "a photograher's photographer" since his late 1960s arrival at the forefront of conceptual photography. His work is inspired by a philosophical inquiry into photography's place within artistic expression, and consequently his photographs often take as their subject the medium itself. Perhaps best known for his pictures within pictures -- an outstretched arm holding a photograph of a ship over the distant ocean horizon -- Josephson has created a fascinating body of work through his innovative handling of perspective and scale and his combination of reality and reproduction. He has brought his highly original sensibility to different genres, from documenting street life in India to nude portraiture, to, most recently, large-format landscapes of England and France. Accompanying a major retrospective exhibition at The Art Institute of Chicago, this catalogue will span his entire career and include some 30 works never before published, an interview with the artist, a complete chronology, and two essays. In its scope and currency, this comprehensive monograph is the definitive record of Josephson's career.

Jacques Henri Lartigue, Photographer
by Vicki Goldberg
Jacques-Henri Lartigue took his first pictures in the year 1900, at the age of six. He was considered a child prodigy and had produced incredible images of his family and friends by the time he was twelve. In the dozen or so years before World War I, whether it was racing cars, flying machines, people jumping, glider planes, ladies of fashion strolling in the park, or people at the seashore and at the races, the young Lartigue was fascinated by movement. An amateur graced with a sense of creation and a genius for form, his intent was to record a moment as it sped by. Lartigue was rediscovered in the 1970s with the publication of Diary of a Century, edited by Richard Avedon. Lartigue is the first book since then to survey the depth of the photographer's amusing and engaging historical perspectives. It is truly an homage to the revelations of his exceptional images that arrestingly document the end of the old world and the beginning of the new.
