Color. American Photography Transformed

The catalogue of a major exhibition at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, which holds one of the premier collections of American photography, Color tells, for the first time, the fascinating story of color´s integration into American fine art photography and how its acceptance revolutionized the practice of art.Tracing the development of color photography from the first color photograph in 1851 to digital photography, John Rohrbach describes photographers´ initial rejection of color, their decades-long debates over what color brings to photography, and how their gradual acceptance of color released photography from its status as a second-tier art form.
