In this seminal exhibition catalog, John Szarkowski examines the evolution of American photography from 1960 through the late 1970s. He categorizes the medium into two distinct philosophical approaches: the 'mirror,' representing photography as a vehicle for personal expression, and the 'window,' viewing the camera as a tool for exploring the objective world. This volume provides a critical framework for understanding the shift toward subjective, individualistic imagery in contemporary practice.
