'It is not a history of photography ---but we are going to try and
define the photographers whose work has migrated beyond magazines,
newspapers, publication into the great museum collections.' Marina
Vaizey Marina Vaizey and Anne Blood consider the historical impact
of photography on the fine and interpretive arts; from pioneers
such as Hill and Adamson, Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre to Edward
Steichen and Man Ray. The documentary power and graphic clarity of
the medium challenged and persuaded artists such as Degas, Sickert,
Warhol and innumerable creative voices. In their essays Marina and
Anne explore the conjunctions and variations where document and
dream intermingle, in a revolutionary medium which transformed the
classical canons of Western tradition.

collection of 150 collages at the Tate and focuses on 'Merzbau', a
late work created in a barn at Elterwater, wherte Schwitters was
exiled, a complex internal sculpture integrated in a wall,
