Book Description
Photography in Children’s Literature is the first study that examines the wide array of artistic techniques, topics, and genres used within photographic books for children. Covering a time period from the 1870s to the 1980s, the collection offers multifaceted insights into changing perceptions of children and childhood during an era when the world changed in unprecedented ways. More than sixty full-color illustrations demonstrate an impressive variety of genres, from ABC books, concept books, and country portraits to photo reportage and poetry. By discussing photographic books from ten countries and three continents, the collection offers an international scope, providing a glimpse into the production and reception of photography in children’s literature in a range of contexts and cultures. Photographic books for children thus open up new vistas for scholars interested in an interdisciplinary and transnational investigation of children’s literature, text and images, across the centuries.

Surrealities
Author: Harry BorgmanPublisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1477181318
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
The dreamlike quality of the images is fascinating and the ideas can be very intriguing. Using the photographic medium to create surreal images is most effective as the objects appearing so real tend to fool the minds eye. It must be real, its a photograph of a real object. Very diverse objects and images can be used together to create unsettling results for the viewer. While some surreal images can be created that are very mysterious, many can also have a very humorous aspect to them. To see oversized vegetables suspended in a room or an Ethiopian Coke bottle floating in the sky is abnormal and funny as well.

Book Description
For about twenty-fiveyears Tom Chambers has explored the medium of photography to create photomontages which are inspired largely from travel in the American West, NewEngland, Mexico, Italy, and Iceland. Photomontageis Tom's unique way to present unspoken stories which illustrate fleetingmoments in time and which are intended to evoke a mood in the viewer. Thefeelings might range from tranquility to turbulence. Through the intentionaluse of magic realism, the photomontages look believable, but improbable. Eachphotomontage is carefully constructed, using both images that have been plannedand those that unexpectedly enhance the story. Tom desires to move beyond documentation of the present, and rather seekto fuse reality and fantasy in musing about possibilities of the future. Over time Tom hascompleted nine photographic series, each with fifteen to twenty-fivephotographs which have been exhibited in more than twenty solo shows and abouta hundred group exhibitions and art fairs. Tom's work is represented by six galleries in the United States andEurope. Tom has received fellowships from the Virginia Museum of FineArts and the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Entropic Kingdom,containing images from five series, was published by Modernbook Editions in2012. Galerie Vevais published Werkdruck No. 6in 2015, featuring his Illuminationseries.
