Rafael Doctor Roncero, Octavio Zaya The starting-point for the photography of Kooi (born 1962, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands) is the Dutch landscape, which she transforms into the setting for ambiguous and inexplicable events. The apparent naturalism of her images, which always have the spontaneity of a snapshot, derrives from a complex creative process involving preparatory drawings, models, and design of the lighting and location in a way comparable to film or to the great Baroque paintings. This blending of naturalism and artifice gives Ellen Kooi's photographs a troubling atmosphere that irresistably attracts and holds the viewer's gaze.Recent exhibitions and shows: "Espacio Liquido" (solo show), "Gijon" (SP); Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire, Paris (FR); CPIF Art Centre, Paris (FR); NY C Photo, Philips de Pury & Company, NY, USA; Catherine Clark Gallery (solo show) San Francisco (USA); LUMC, Leiden (NL); Clay Center for the Arts, West Virginia (USA); PULSE London, by PPOW (NY, USA), ARCO Art Fair/ DFOTO - San Sebastian International Contemporary Photography and Video-Art Fair/Art Brussels, presented by Les Filles Du Calvaire, (Paris); Art Chicago, presented by PPOW (NewYork, USA); Centro Atlantico de Arte Moderne (CAAM), Gran Canaria (SP); and Night & Day, Vishal Haarlem (NL).

A highly influential body of work, mostly unpublished, by a photographer who helped establish colour photography as a legitimate medium of artistic expression A chronological sequence of photographs of vernacular America taken in the early 1970s that have been widely exhibited and discussed in Europe and the US A photo-diary of Shore''s experience crossing America that bridges the gap between the road trip tradition of Walker Evans and Robert Frank and the fascination with the ordinary of Bernd and Hilla Becher and Martin Parr A must-have for everyone interested in the history of twentieth-century photography In 1972, Stephen Shore left New York City and set out with a friend to Amarillo, Texas. He didn''t drive, so his first view of America was framed by the passenger''s window frame. He was taken aback by the fact that his experience of life as a New Yorker had very little in common with the character and aspirations of Middle America. Later that year he set out again, this time on his own, with just a driver''s licence and a Rollei 35 - a point-and-shoot camera - to explore the country through the eyes of an everyday tourist. The project was entitled American Surfaces, in reference to the superficial nature of his brief encounters with places and people, and the underlying character of the images that he hoped to capture. Shore photographed relentlessly and returned to New York triumphant, with hundreds of rolls of film spilling from his bags. In order to remain faithful to the conceptual foundations of the project, he followed the lead of most tourists of the time and sent his film to be developed and printed in Kodak''s labs in New Jersey. The result was hundreds and hundreds of exquisitely composed colour pictures, that became the benchmark for documenting our fast-living, consumer-orientated world. The corpus of his work - following on from Walker Evans'' and Robert Frank''s epic experiences of crossing America - influenced photographers such as Martin Parr and Bernd & Hilla Becher, who in turn introduced a new generation of students to Shore''s work.

"Don McCullin's view of England is rooted in his war time childhood and in growing up in Finsbury Park, north London, in the fifties. His first published photograph was a picture of a gang from his neighbourhood, which appeared in a newspaper after a local murder. The boys were his childhood friends. McCullin has always balanced his anger at the unacceptable face of the nation with tenderness or compassion. In England combines some of his greatest work with many previously unpublished photographs and an entirely new body of pictures." "McCullin sees in his native country a perpetual social gulf dividing the affluent and the destitute. He continues in the same black-and-white tradition as he demonstrated between foreign assignments for the Sunday Times in the sixties and seventies, when his view of a deprived Britain seemed as dark as the conflict zones from which he'd just escaped. At a time when we might believe the world has changed beyond our imagination, McCullin shows us a view of England where the line between the wealthy and the poor is as defined as ever. This time he adds wry humour to his lyricism, as if the nation is as absurd as it is tragic. At the heart of it all is McCullin's deep love of the English landscape. He transforms his views of the hills and fields of Somerset beneath dark, raging skies into the battlefields of his imagination. It is here he feels completely at home."--BOOK JACKET.

Edward Steichen (1879 - 1973) es indudablemente uno de los nombres más prolíficos, versátiles, influyentes y polémicos de la historia de la fotografía. Muchos le admiraron por sus logros como fotógrafo artistico, e impresiono a muchos otros por la fuerza de sus trabajos comerciales. Retratos, desnudos, moda, paisajes, panoramas urbanos, danza, teatro, guerra, publicidad, bodegones y fotografias de flores: parece que este innovador fabricante de imagenes no dejo de explorar ni un solo genero fotografico; y gracias a su empeño caracteristico por la experimentacion, dejo huella en no pocos de estos generos. El diseño grafico, la tipografia, la direccion artistica..., estas areas, tambien, se convirtieron en terreno fertil para la creatividad de Steichen. Aunque su produccion fotografica por si sola le habria merecido un capitulo entero de la historia de la fotografia, Steichen añadio a sus laureles su trabajo como comisario de la admiradisima exposicion "The family of man" que comenzo su gira internacional en 1955 y fue visitada al menos por nueve millones de espectadores de todo el mundo.
