Twentieth Century Photography: a complete guide to the greatest artists of the photographic age (Reuel Golden) Carlton

Twentieth-Century Photography is an indispensable and comprehensive guide to over 70 of the world's best-known photographers, from the pioneers of the early part of the century to the experimental artists who will take us into the future. Arranged in alphabetical order by photographer, each entry contains a selection of sumptuous reproductions of some of the photographer's most interesting and representative works. In addition there is an incisive appreciation of each of these most well-known or ground-breaking artists, including the technical background to their pictures, and a key facts panel detailing biographical details and the development of each photographer's career.

He has also lectured on photography, appeared on television, judged many photographic competitions, including the John Kobal Photographic Portrait Award, and written for British newspapers. He now lives and works in New York, as a Contributing Editor on Photo District News and Executive Editor of PIX. His favourite photographer of all time is Helmut Newton.
