This is a compelling look at one of photography's most beloved
subjects. This volume is the ninth in a group of photography books
drawn from the holdings of The J. Paul Getty Museum, each volume
focusing on a specific theme or genre spanning the history of the
medium from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Animals in
Photographs traces the relationship between animal representation
and the possibilities presented by rapid advancements in camera and
film technologies. In his opening essay, Arpad Kovacs explores the
allegorical, social, scientific, and aesthetic approaches to a
subject that has been of continuous interest to photographers
across the centuries. Eighty full-color plates represent image
makers ranging from unknown daguerreotypists and nineteenth-century
innovators Felice Beato and Eadweard Muybrudge to early
twentieth-century artists Andre Kertesz, Alexander Rodchenko,
August Sander, and Alfred Stieglitz to mid-twentieth-century
photographers Berenice Abbott, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, and Man Ray.
More recent makers Linda Connor, Robert Mapplethorpe, Hiroshi
Sugimoto, and William Wegman, along with contemporary artists Tim
Hawkinson, Pieter Hugo, and Graciela Iturbide build on that history
to round out a group of images that is both distinctive and
intriguing. This book is published on the occasion of the
exhibition In Focus: Animalia, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum
at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, from May 26 to October 18, 2015.
