Softcover. Condition: Neu. Allan Sekula (illustrator). Allan Sekula. Photography Against the Grain: Essays and Photo Works, 19731983. London, Mack Books, 2016. 280:215mm. 250S. Brosch. "This collection of essays and photographs by Allan Sekula was originally published, 1984, by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Photography has always been characterized by a vacillation between extremes: between subjectivity and objectivity, truth and artifice, information and aesthetic. More than any other, photography is a medium of contrasting forces and it was this oppositional nature that so interested the American photographer, writer, filmmaker and critic Allan Sekula. Sekula combined photography with conceptualism and Marxist commentary to create his own brand of critically engaged art and writing, much of which features in this collection. The books first half is devoted to his early written works and included are texts such as, On the Invention of Photographic Meaning (1974) and The Traffic in Photographs (1981). The former compares the styles of social documentarians like Lewis Hine with anti-utilitarian, aesthetes like Alfred Stieglitz, while the latter concerns itself with the literal traffic of photographys production, consumption and circulation."

First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. xv, [1], 259 pages. Photography throughout, primarily in black and white. "This is a book about photography. This is also a book of photographs, a book that speaks within and alongside and through photographs. Here is one way in which this book brushes photography against the grain: normally separated tasks - of writer and photographer, of 'critic' and 'visual artist' - are here allowed to coexist, perhaps uneasily, between the covers of a single volume." - Introduction. Publication of this work coincided with an exhibition of the same name at the Ohio State Gallery of Fine Art, November 16 - December 7, 1984. Contents clean and unmarked. Binding intact. Somewhat above-average wear to dust jacket and covers. A sound copy of this treasured work.
