The catalog begins with selected images from perhaps the most famous photo essay on American life, Robert Frank's \u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e (1958). It then moves beyond the classical canon to offer a striking selection of vernacular photography: vintage magazine advertisements for Coca-Cola and Cadillac; family albums; postcards; and album covers. These examples are integrated seamlessly among the more well-known images until any supposed distinction between \"high art\" and \"low culture\" is erased.\u003cbr\u003eThis story of American photography is told through the outstanding collection of the Rijksmuseum, enriched by loans from US institutions including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Philadelphia Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Art Institute of Chicago; and the National Gallery of Art, Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 11.4 x 9.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 27, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53219893379379,"sku":"9789462089044","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TvqlIUUO_R9789462089044.webp?v=1775767769","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/american-photography-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
