ISBN: 9780300113327.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA revelatory new study of the twentieth-century master Harry Callahan, offering insights into his often experimental process and his contribution to the history of photography\n\nHarry Callahan (1912–1999) was one of the most influential photographic artists of the twentieth century. A master of modernist experimentation, Callahan explored a range of subjects—from landscapes to city streets to portraits of his wife—and techniques throughout his career.\n\nBeautifully designed and produced, this book focuses on understanding how Callahan worked—both his day-to-day photographic explorations and his resulting fifty-year career in photography. Exploring the rich contents of the Harry Callahan Archive at the Center for Creative Photography, the authors look at how Callahan’s choice of subjects and visual ideas emerged from deliberate and improvisational processes, and how such processes might be revealed with archival materials such as negatives, transparencies, proof prints, sequential ordering, and variant printings. This close investigation of Callahan’s individual and experimental approach to materials in turn leads to a larger consideration of his relationship to seemingly contradictory strains in American visual culture of the twentieth century.\n\nReproducing a host of previously unpublished images and documents, this volume juxtaposes select artifacts—such as contact sheets and variants—with final images to explicate Callahan’s life in and influence upon photography. Harry Callahan: The Photographer at Work will offer a rare glimpse into the creative process of an important and fascinating artist.\n\nPublished in association with the Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona, Tucson\n\nExhibition Schedule:\nThe Art Institute of Chicago (June 24 – September 24, 2006)\n\nCenter for Creative Photography (January 27 – May 7, 2006)\n\nMuseum of Photographic Arts, San Diego (May 20 – September 2, 2007)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44609643511861,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300113323","price":82.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0300113323_4c87f93c-eaa1-471d-8f70-0eb1ff8351d3.jpg?v=1784368687","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/harry-callahan-the-photographer-at-work-9780300113327","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
