This book draws together the finest works from 1920 to 1950, a period that is widely considered to be photography's 'coming of age', a time of great experimentation and innovation when artists pushed the boundaries of the medium. New Vision refers to the term coined by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in the mid 1920s to describe the way photography could be used to see the world through a modern lens. As new technology developed, it allowed the freedom both to experiment and to record, leading to new developments such as photograms, typographics and the bird's- and worm's eye views. This period also encompassed key avant-garde movements of the 20th century in which photography played a central role - dada, surrealism, the Bauhaus and Russian constructivism.0With over 150 illustrations, an interview with Elton John exploring the motivations behind his collecting, and essays looking at the photographs within the history of modernism and an exploration of the impact of technical innovations on the form, New Vision will introduce a new audience to this unique body of work and provide an indispensable resource to those who are already fans of the period.0Exhibition: Tate Gallery, London, UK (10.11.2015 - 07.05.2017). 500 $a Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Tate Modern, London, November 10, 2016- May 7, 2017. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 244-245) and index. 600 10 $a John, Elton $x Photograph collections $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic $x Private collections $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 600 17 $a John, Elton. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00050285 650 7 $a Photograph collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061600 650 7 $a Photography, Artistic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061964 650 7 $a Photography, Artistic $x Private collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061974 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 700 1 $a Baker, Simon, $d 1972- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006011662 700 1 $a Mavlian, Shoair, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015062232 700 1 $a Harbin, Newell, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016167498 700 1 $a John, Elton, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80017866 710 2 $a Tate Modern (Gallery), $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr00020575 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171223031521.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD2077B4E7AF11E78369235E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
