While certain photographs have become world-famous images indelibly
printed on the cultural consciousness, the stories on the other
side of the lens have been all too often distorted, obfuscated or
overlooked, the social and political environments misunderstood or
forgotten. By evoking the lives and backgrounds of nearly forty
great photographers, Juliet Hacking also brings new light to their
work, forging a greater understanding of each photographic pioneer.
In addition, many rarely seen portraits and self-portraits are
brought to light. Seen together, these entries form a holistic
examination that, while drawing attention to the contributions of
each individual, adroitly guides the reader through the major
innovations, movements and developments in the history of
photography with authority, dexterity and zeal. Bound in a single
compact and portable volume, Lives of the Great Photographers is
one of those rare examples where engaging reading meets beau livre.
