The Aperture Masters of Photography Series has become a touchstone
of Aperture's longstanding commitment to introducing the history
and art of photography to a broader public. Each volume provides an
ongoing comprehensive view of the artists who have helped shape the
medium. Initially presented as the History of Photography Series in
1976, the first volume featured Henri Cartier-Bresson and was
edited by legendary French publisher Robert Delpire, who cofounded
the series with Aperture's own Michael Hoffman. Twenty volumes have
been published in total, each of them devoted to an image-maker
whose achievements have accorded them vital importance in the
history of photography. Each volume presents an evocative selection
of the photographer's life's work, introduced with a foreword by a
notable curator or historian of each artist. The series will be
relaunched in Fall 2014, beginning with books on Paul Strand and
Dorothea Lange, elegantly updated and refreshed for today's
photography-hungry audiences, and introducing new, image-by-image
commentary and chronologies of the artists' lives for each of the
previously published titles. The series will also include entirely
new titles on individual artists. The Aperture Masters of
Photography Series is an unparalleled library of both historical
and contemporary photographers, and serves as an accessible
compilation for anyone studying the history of photography.
