"American Modern", the beautifully illustrated companion volume to
the exhibit of the same name, explores the reinvention of
documentary photography in the 1930s, focusing on the work of three
iconic figures: Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, and Margaret
Bourke-White. More broadly, the book maps the formation of what we
now identify as 'documentary style', showing how a marginalized
genre associated with Progressive reform politics was transformed
into a major component of modern art and public culture in America.
The essays by Sharon Corwin, Jessica May, and Terri Weissman
describe how each of these three photographers developed a
different model of photography - as well as a particular
understanding of modernism and modernity - which each believed
would set the standard for future generations of artists. American
Modern identifies the points where Abbott, Evans, and Bourke-White
connected, diverged, and competed, and demonstrates how commercial
and governmental commissions, the influence of mass media, the
establishment of public institutions of modern art, and
international theories of photography all intersected to establish
the now-dominant documentary style.
