520 _aThe photographs in this book are divided into three groups. The "illustrative" pieces, drawn from popular magazines such as Life and Look, reflect those magazines' emphasis on eye-catching color and celebrities. The "documentary" photos, visual equivalents of dog bites man, offer photojournalism's emphasis on dramatic action. Finally, the "expressive" shots offer the self-consciously "art" photography of Ansel Adams, Elliot Porter, and others.
