Abstract (en)

Traces the rise, decline, and resurgence of photography criticism in the United States over the course of the 20th c., from Charles Caffin and Sadakichi Hartmann at the turn of the century to Minor White, Henry Holmes Smith, and John Szarkowski, active since the 1950s. Focuses on the relationship of photographic criticism to modernist thought.
