Today color photography is so ubiquitous that it's hard to believe
there was a time when this was not the case. Color Rush:
Seventy-five Years of Color Photography in America explores the
developments that led us to this point, looking at the way color
photographs circulated and appeared at the time of their making.
From magazine pages to gallery walls, from advertisements to
photojournalism, Color Rush charts the history of color photography
in the United States from the moment it became available as a mass
medium to the moment when it no longer seemed an unusual choice for
artists. The book begins with the 1907 unveiling of autochrome, the
first commercially available color process, and continues up
through the 1981 landmark survey show and book, The New Color
Photography, which hailed the widespread acceptance of color
photography in contemporary art. In the intervening years, color
photography captured the popular imagination through its visibility
in magazines like Life and Vogue, as well as through its
accessibility in the marketplace thanks to companies like Kodak.
Often in photo histories color is presented as having arrived fully
formed in the 1970s; this book reveals a deeper story and uncovers
connections in both artistic and commercial practices. A
comprehensive chronology and examples of significant moments and
movements mark the increasing visibility of color photography.
Color Rush brings together Ansel Adams and William Eggleston, Eliot
Porter and Cindy Sherman, Edward Steichen and Stephen Shore, and
examines them in a fresh context paying particular attention to
color photography's translation onto the printed page. In doing so,
it traces a new history that more fully accounts for color's
pervasive presence today.
