| description | This book is grounded on the concept of “optical deconstructions” which Edit Tóth elects to key-concept. Attention is laid on a number of case studies ranging from Bauhaus to Contemporary Art and covering a vast geographical area – from Germany, to the United States and Japan – with a declared focus on female artists. Through an in-depth analysis of the artworks, the book highlights in an original way the interaction between artistic creation and cultural context, and underlines new connections between photographic solutions and cultural changes in society, thus opening up new research perspectives in particular on the relationship between photography and design. |
