Description: Having established itself as an art form in the black and white mode, color photography gained acceptance only very slowly, and this album is an homage to the photographers who elevated its use to an art form. The collection includes nudes and still lifes, fashion and journalism, portraits and landscapes, in images by such photographers as John Rawlings, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Cecil Beaton, Guy Bourdin, Paolo Roversi, Erwin Blumenfeld, Edward Weston, Joel Meyerowitz, Martin Parr, Andreas Gursky, William Eggleston, Edward Steichen, Annie Leibovitz, Sarah Moon, Sheila Metzner, Paul Outerbridge, Horst P. Horst, and Javier Vallhonrat.

This mini-portfolio presents noteworthy photography albums previously published by Assouline and reduces from their original formats to pleasingly chunky miniature versions, dressed in simple white-on-black covers.
