These photos may have not changed the world but they surely capture the climax of those changes.  Criticizing Photographs: An Introduction to Understanding Images $27.94 Recent reviews of Criticizing Photographs strike me as biased and off-base. Yes, Barrett discusses actual photographs with actual content (to which at least one reviewer seems to object), but that's the real world. Photographs have subjects and present content. For those of you who remember, Maplethorpe's photos did create a stir in and beyond the art world, and using them as an example in a book about art criticism is completely appropriate. Barrett also makes an effort to place photographic art in the larger context of the international art world, which also seems appropriate given its aims. The book is not perfect, and it is certainly not a "how-to" book on photography, but it has been and remains a competent introduction to photography criticism. |
