| book description |

Many photographers have been intrigued with the baffling distortionsâ€”both subtle and disquietingâ€”that can occur when the camera â€œcapturesâ€ the real world. Not always intentional, some images dazzle with impossible juxtapositions or disorienting spatial orders, while others confound the viewerâ€™s belief in the documentary promise of photography. Â Drawn from the highly respected collection of Allan Chasanoff, the photographs in this intriguing volume confront viewers with the challenge of doubt and confusion in so-called â€œstraightâ€ pictures. Featured are perceptually provocative images by Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Clarence John Laughlin, Imogen Cunningham, and Lee Friedlander, among others. The bookâ€™s essays raise awareness of the interpretive nature of the lens and the interpolative nature of the medium. Distributed for the Yale University Art Gallery Exhibition Schedule: Yale University Art Gallery (October 7, 2008Â â€“ January 4, 2009)
