Around the turn of the 20th century, he founded the <strong>Photo-Secession, a progressive movement</strong> concerned with advancing the creative possibilities of photography, and by 1903 began publishing <em>Camera Work</em>, an avant-garde magazine devoted to voicing the ideas, both in images and words, of the Photo-Secession. <em>Camera Work</em> was the first photo journal whose focus was visual, rather than technical, and its illustrations were of the highest quality hand-pulled photogravure printed on Japanese tissue. This book brings together all photographs from the journal’s 50 issues.</div> <div class="margin-bottom"> </div> <div id="series_text" class="margin-bottom"><strong>About the Series:</strong><br /><strong><em>Bibliotheca Universalis</em> — Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price</strong>!<br />Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. <em>Bibliotheca Universalis</em> brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.<br /><strong>Bookworm’s delight — never bore, always excite</strong>!</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="description_text"> <div class="margin-bottom"> </div> <div class="margin-bottom">Text in English, French, and German</div> </div>
