{"product_id":"what-is-a-photograph","title":"What is a Photograph?","description":"Bringing together a group of stylistically diverse but similarly adventurous and innovative artists  this book explores the intense creative experimentation in photography that has occurred since the 1970s. Few people ask  \"What is a painting? A drawing? A sculpture?\" But the medium of photography  especially since the 1970s  has been constantly changing as technological developments allow for endless experimentationuntil the very definition of a photograph becomes ripe for debate. Beginning with the waning days of conceptual art  this book presents a wide variety of artistsamong them James Welling  Christopher Williams  Marco Breuer  Alison Rossiter  Sigmar Polke  and Gerhard Richterwho have reconsidered and reinvented the role of light  color  composition  materiality  and subject in the art of photography. Brought together for the first time in book form  these individuals have found new ways of implementing both analog and digital technology  in many cases creating hybrid works that open up new possibilities for todays artists. Filled with brilliant color reproductions  this volume not only traces the many strands of experimentation that have developed out of conceptual art  but also encourages dialogue on the continuing experimentation that is occurring as photography continues to evolve within the analog and digital worlds.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44643570384949,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791353519","price":166.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_3791353519_dd7a52b5-97e9-4e5b-b32f-7bdb454051ab.jpg?v=1768240498","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/what-is-a-photograph","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
