This stunning volume represents a major photohistorical discovery: it is the first book on Homer Page (19181985), a brilliant but overlooked photographer active in the late 1940s and 50s. It focuses on his previously unpublished photographs of New York taken while a Guggenheim Fellow from 1949 to 1950. First recognized by Ansel Adams in 1944, Californiaborn Page exhibited in a major show of young artists at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1946. Four years later, he was invited to participate in MoMAs seminal photography symposium, alongside 10 other prominent photographers, including Walker Evans, Irving Penn, and Aaron Siskind.In photographs that echo those of Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Robert Frank, Page uniquely synthesized documentary and artistic concerns. His work as a Guggenheim Fellowwhich depicts pedestrians in motion, friends and family members conversing, commuters, children playing, political rallies and protests, and isolated figures resting and watchingoffers a fascinating look at New York during the late 1940s and represents the culmination of Pages most important work.The Photographs of Homer Page features a plate section of these compelling and often poignant images together with texts by the artist, a bibliography, and an essay by noted scholar Keith F. Davis examining Pages life and careerincluding his connections with Lange, Nancy and Beaumont Newhall, and Edouard Steichen.Distributed for The NelsonAtkins Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:The NelsonAtkins Museum of Art (February 14June 7, 2009)
