Abstract

Galleries of Friendship and Fame is the first comprehensive investigation of the origin, development, and practices of 19th-century American photograph albums. In this fascinating book, the author argues that the album—whether functioning as family record, parlor entertainment, social register, national portrait gallery, or advertisement for photography itself—helped transform the nature of self-presentation at the cusp of modernity.&#13;&#13;This handsome volume examines carte de visite and cabinet card albums from their introduction in the United States in 1861 through the rise of the snapshot at the century’s end. By examining a wealth of previously overlooked primary materials, this study offers a completely new understanding of photograph albums, revealing how they emerged, how they were marketed and sold, and how families displayed and told stories through them. Galleries of Friendship and Fame addresses the history of technology and innovation, the interconnectedness of the commercial and domestic spheres, and the ways photography helped shape notions of identity, family, and nation in a rapidly changing America.

Abstract

"This publication is a major scholarly contribution attached to one of the most significant art museum collections in the world. Drawing on holdings from across the Art Institute in photographs, photobooks and magazines, and the moving image, this richly argued publication features 75 keyword entries by prominent artists as well as museum and university researchers on topics urgent for understanding the photographic field today. Accompanying these concise essays are more than 400 high-quality illustrations of works chosen from the very core of the museum's collections - selections that amplify the authors' arguments while suggesting additional dialogues across conventional divisions of chronology, geography, technology, and genre. An introductory essay reviews with a critical eye the museum's various and changing investments in photography and media from the moment of its first formal acquisition of photographs, in 1949"--

Abstract

"This elegant book unites all of the known carte postale prints by the photographer Andre Kertesz (1894-1985), including portraits, views of Paris, careful studio scenes, and exquisitely simple still lifes. Essays shed new light on the artist's most acclaimed images; themes of materiality, exile, and communication; his illustrious and bohemian social circle; and the changing identity of art photography. Playful yet refined, the book's design reflects the spirit of 1920s Paris while underscoring the modernity of the catalogue's more than 250 illustrated works. Kertesz made his rigorously composed prints on inexpensive but lush postcard stock, sharing them with friends and sending them back to family in Hungary. The works reveal the artist learning his craft as he encountered an international group of modernists-including Piet Mondrian, Fernand Leger, and Joseph Csaky-in the interwar metropolis. Prized by collectors as well as by Kertesz himself, the cartes postales influenced his compositions and the intimate scale of his picture making for decades."--Provided by publisher.
