Thought Pieces – 1970s Photographs by Lew Thomas, Donna-Lee Phillips, and Hal Fischer.

Beschrijving

30.5 x 23 cm. [216] pp. Softcover. Profusely illustrated, chiefly in b/w. – In the early 1970s, Lew Thomas (1932-2021) set out to disrupt photography in San Francisco. Tired of the mystical thinking and emotionalism that had underscored Bay Area photography since the 1940s, Thomas pursued a photographic practice grounded in ideas gleaned from conceptual art and Structuralist philosophy. A cohort of other photographers, including Donna-Lee Phillips and Hal Fischer, embraced Thomas’ mission, joining him in what became known as the ‘Photography and Language’ movement, named after a book and group exhibition of the same title produced by Thomas in 1976. – Fine copy
