Synopsis:

Pourquoi est-ce un chef-d'oeuvre ?
C'est ce qu'explique cet ouvrage, en proposant une analyse inédite de 80 clichés qui ont fait date dans l'histoire de la photographie. Concise, précise et vivante, chacune des notices resitue l'oeuvre dans son contexte, dévoilant ainsi ce qui l'a rendue exceptionnelle. S'agit-il du thème, de la composition, de la technique ? Ou bien plutôt de la fidélité au sujet ? D'Ernst Haas à Martin Parr, en passant par Man Ray, Robert Capa, Nan Goldin ou encore Rineke Dijkstra, ce livre conçu par un spécialiste nous invite dans les coulisses de la création, du portrait au paysage, du photojournalisme au documentaire social.
