Essay
Photography
Christine Ollier / Jean-Christophe Bailly
Over the past four decades, the subject of “Landscape” has become a major theme in contemporary photography. Christine Ollier’s essay examines and synthesizes the extent of the conceptual and formal renewal associated with this theme. The philosophical notions that structure this concept today have become more complex; the various aesthetic currents of our modern era, as well as the contributions of image technologies, have broadened its scope.
This book presents a number of exemplary artistic approaches that highlight the complexity and richness of this contemporary photographic movement. In addition to the author’s synthesis, it features extensive reproductions of works by nearly 70 French and international artists.
