Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a historical and comprehensive overview of portrait photography in the United States. Commencing with its inception, the author explains the evolution of both the technology and artistic applications of photography, notably in portraiture. The author explores how, despite being discovered in Europe, portrait photography became an American innovation. Through the author's exploration of the subject, the reader learns of the technical and creative breakthroughs achieved by American photographers - such as Draper, Morse, Anthonys, and Brady - that led to this innovation. Incisive insights into the influence of European artistic sensibilities on the development of American portrait photography are offered throughout the book. The author argues that American portrait photographers have achieved a high degree of artistry, resulting in images that rival paintings in their beauty and complexity. The author concludes by proposing the establishment of a National Academy of Photography to recognize and encourage excellence in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
