Unearthed: Photography's roots

Uittreksel

"Published to coincide with the first major photography exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery, Unearthed: Photography's Roots traces the history of photography from the 1840s to the present day, as seen through depictions of plants and botany. It examines key moments in the development of the medium, from the Pictoralists to the Modernists, to the birth of colour photography and the pioneering techniques embraced by contemporary artists. This book considers photography's enduring connection to the natural world and the ways in which the photographic image has radically transformed how this is pictured and understood."
