Based on the highly successful course at the School of Visual Arts
developed by the author, this book provides a comprehensive
approach to the critical understanding of photography through an
in-depth discussion of fifteen photographs and their contexts -
historical, generic, biographical and aesthetic. This book presents
an intensive course in looking at photographs, open to
undergraduates and general audiences alike. Rexer argues that by
concentrating on fifteen carefully chosen works it is possible to
understand the history, development and contemporary situation of
photography. Looking to images by photographers such as Roland
Fischer, Nancy Rexroth and Ernest Cole, The Critical Eye is the
only book to address the totality of issues involved in
photography, from authorial self-consciousness to the role of the
audience. Its subjects are not limited to art photography but
include vernacular images, commercial genres and anthropology. With
every chapter it seeks to link the history of photography to
current practice. This highly illustrated and beautiful book
provides a much-needed introduction to image production.
