This book explores the dreams and remnants of America as seen through the "historical" photographs of over 60 prominent photographers from the collection of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. From Stieglitz, the father of modern photography, to Walker Evans, who breathed new life into documentary photography, Robert Frank, who viewed America from a new perspective, and Mapplethorpe, who pursued beauty through the theme of the body. This official guidebook/photo collection features easy-to-understand explanations of the historical background and photographic significance by the curators.
