Erin C. Garcia

Hardcover | 18.42 x 1.52 x 22.23 cm | 112 pp

J. Paul Getty Museum | 2010 | 9781606060315

From as early as 1839, artists began exploring photography's enormous potential for storytelling and often went to great lengths to stage pictures for the camera. Photography as Fiction opens with a short introductory essay summarising the history of staged photography, highlighting key debates on the mediums blunt factuality and its capacity for deception. The book goes on to showcase 76 works by both widely known and less prominent artists, including Man Ray, Julia Margaret Cameron, Dora Maar, Andy Warhol, Alfred Stieglitz, Lewis Carroll, Julia Margaret Cameron, Jo Ann Callis, and Paul Outerbridge.

Excellent book

A book full of ideas so easily forgottenl or overlooked as a painter. A good reminder of techniques that relate to the use of acrylics. Very straightforward, well illustrated. An excellent buy.

More or Les

I have bought and will continue to buy this book as often as I can.
As a man much wittier than I said of Les Coleman and his work, "Les is More."

Indeed we all agree that he was.

One of the best art-focused book shops I know!

Such a wonderful collection of title from across the arts and culture spectrum. I absolutely love that you offer books that delve into the niches of the art world, limited run artist led publishing, artists practicing away from the mainstream and so on. The prices are a bonus, and the quick service is outstanding! I for one will keep coming back. Thank you!!!

A fantastic read

I love this book. It's very readable, informative and well written, covering one of the most exciting and revolutionary periods of art history. The author includes glimpses of how the artists' early work fared at auction and the public's reaction to the new art movements in exhibitions.
