Body and the Lens: Photography 1839 to the Present (Perspectives)

Pultz explores various issues in photography by focusing on one of its greatest subjects--the human body. He traces images of the body--male and female, child and adult, nude and clothed--from the tintypes of anonymous itinerant photographers to the great classic works of the masters of the medium to the artistic experiments of today. 125 illustrations, 32 in color.
