Concrete Photography

Concrete Photography can be regarded as a new genre within Concrete Art. As such it appears alongside other related modes of artistic expression like Concrete Painting, Concrete Music or Concrete Poetry. At the same time, it is a branch of photography. Overall, we are dealing with a phenomenon for which there is still no conclusive theory or comprehensive description, even thought as a discipline in its own right it has produced its own specific kind of picture since the beginning of the twentieth century and, indeed, continues to exert influence. This publication is the first as such to present the history, esthetics and technique of Concrete Photography, incorporating approximately 150 works by eighty international artists.
