In this book Deborah Willis explores historical perceptions of beauty and desire through artistic and ethnographic imagery and the role individual photographers play in constructing ways of seeing. Through the themes of idealized beauty  the unfashionable body  the gendered image  and photography as memory  Willis challenges and makes problematic the \"reading\" of photographic images in the twenty-first century.  Working from the significant photographic holdings of the University of Washingtons Henry Art Gallery  and the University of Washington Libraries  Special Collections  the author examines shifting gender attitudes that emerged in work by women photographers such as Gertrude Ksebier and Diane Arbus. Willis discusses ethnographic ideologies underpinning the work of Edward Sheriff Curtis and Fred E. Miller who worked with Native American subjects  as well as the framing and reframing of images of black people in the work of Samuel Montague Fassett and Carrie Mae Weems. Additionally  the effects of fashion and desire on the imaging of beauty are examined in the work of such artists as Don Wallen  Janieta Eyre  and Jan Saudek. The book includes full-page illustrations of works by more than fifty internationally recognized photographers including Lisette Model  Imogen Cunningham  Lewis Wickes Hine  Bruce Davidson  Cecil Beaton  Nan Goldin  Andr Kertsz  Lee Friedlander  Lorna Simpson  Cindy Sherman  and Andy Warhol.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652950515765,"sku":"ByrdShop_0295992514","price":70.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780295992518.jpg?v=1781854464","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/out-o-fashion-photography-embracing-beauty-9780295992518","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
