Encounters: Photography from the Sheldon Museum of Art: American Transnationalism: Perspectives from the Sheldon Museum of Art
Autor Sheldon Museum of Art Editat de Brandon K. Ruuden Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2013
Encounters explores photography through the lens of transnationalism, highlighting the artistic, cultural, geographic, scientific, and technological conflicts and concurrences that have shaped the modern photographic image. Arranged thematically rather than chronologically, the catalog addresses issues such as tourism, souvenir production, and the search for authenticity in the face of increasing industrialization; the transmission of American, European, and Mexican forms of modernism; gender identity and sexuality; the real and perceived tensions between nature and the built environment; and the convergences of art and science, craft and technology. Images are set within their context by the catalog’s principal author, Brandon K. Ruud, and are accompanied by lively, thought-provoking essays by a team of scholars that includes Zeynep Çelik, Keith F. Davis, Gregory Nosan, Robert G. O’Meally, Britt Salveson, and the museum’s director, Jorge Daniel Veneciano.
