Photography at MoMA: 1960 to Now

For example, let's just pretend for a moment that Ralph Eugene Meatyard was only a mere virtuoso rather than a leading mind blowing light from the period ...

I came of age in the 1960's and I took up photography in the early 1970's. John Szarkowski was the head of MoMA during this time and his influences on photography was far reaching. I still identify with the photography of this period and it's nice to review their work in this book. As time progressed, I've been less pleased with the direction photography has taken. Photography seems to have lost its way during the transition to digital. Many of the more recent photographs depicted here seem to me to be less photographic and more Photoshopped. The digital growing pains continue with a new generation more interested in the uniqueness of the toys than the creative core of making pictures. I'm sure this will all work itself out in the end--photography has gone through numerous periods of creative drought during its history.I may not like all the photography shown here but I love this book. Also consider the companion volume for the period 1920-1960. Outstanding works.
