One of Chicago's great cultural achievements, the Institute of
Design was among the most important schools of photography in
twentieth-century America. It began as an outpost of experimental
Bauhaus education and was home to an astonishing group of
influential teachers and students, including Lazlo Moholy-Nagy,
Harry Callahan, and Aaron Siskind. To date, however, the ID's
enormous contributions to the art and practice of photography have
gone largely unexplored. "Taken by Design" is the first publication
to examine thoroughly this remarkable institution and its lasting
impact.
With nearly 300 illustrations, including many never-before
published photographs, "Taken by Design" examines the changing
nature of photography over this critical period in America's
midcentury. It starts by documenting the experimental nature of
Moholy's Bauhaus approach and photography's new and enhanced role
in training the "complete designer." Next it traces the formal and
abstract camera experiments under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind,
which aimed at achieving a new kind of photographic subjectivity.
Finally, it highlights the ID's focus on conscious references to
the processes of the photographic medium itself. In addition to
photographs by Moholy, Callahan, and Siskind, the book showcases
works by Barbara Crane, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Joseph Jachna, Kenneth
Josephson, Gyorgy Kepes, Nathan Lerner, Ray K. Metzker, Richard
Nickel, Arthur Siegel, Art Sinsabaugh, and many others. Major
essays from experts in the field, biographies, a chronology, and
reprints of critical essays are also included, making "Taken by
Design" an essential work for anyone interested in the history of
American photography.

For nearly thirty years, Melissa Ann Pinney has been photographing
girls and women, from infancy to old age, to portray how feminine
identity is constructed, taught, and communicated. Pinney's work
depicts not only the rites of American womanhood but also the
informal passages of girlhood and adolescence. With each view -
from solitary subjects in pensive moments to complex family and
social situations - the audience gains a richer understanding of
the connections between a daughter and her parents, grandparents,
and the larger world of friends and society. The pictures also
reflect the ways in which a girl's world in 2010 differs from the
world Pinney knew growing up in the 1960s, and the ways in which
the making of a person can transcend time and place. "Girl
Ascending" is a sequel to Pinney's widely praised first book,
"Regarding Emma: Photographs of American Women and Girls". Of that
previous book Janina Ciezaldo wrote in "Aperture", "Pinney brings
compositional integrity, knowledge of color, and a Midwestern
richness of light to her inquiries." This second volume is even
more accomplished, mature, and stylistically consistent. As David
Travis writes in his introduction, "Pinney has regained that sense
of wonder, making her view of girls ascending into young women both
believable and enchanting." Pinney's photographs are powerful and
insightful. As social and artistic documents, they reveal the
subtle and bold aspects of feminine identity as it is expressed in
American places and spaces, both private and public.
