内容简介：

出生于德国的艺术爱好者、收藏家托马斯·瓦尔特20多年一直在进行私人摄影收藏，其中不乏两次世界大战之间的作品。在这一创造性的实验时期，许多风格和方法都在平行发展，如画报主义、抽象主义和坦率的街头摄影，然后融合到现代主义中。亨利·卡蒂埃·布列松（Henri Cartier-Bresson）等摄影师为他们的照片带来了新的活力，他们捕捉到了人们在街上做生意时的样子，而曼·雷（Man Ray）等艺术家则将超现实主义的摄影方法延伸到了摄影中，将道具直接放在相纸上。还有更多的摄影师继续尝试自己的方式，并最终定义了一代摄影。

In 2001, the Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired an unprecedented survey of modern photography from longtime collector Thomas Walther. For 20 years, the German-born art enthusiast had dutifully amassed one of the most impressive private collections of photography in the world, replete with pieces from the era between the two World Wars. This time of creative experimentation saw numerous styles and approaches develop in parallel, such as pictorialism, abstraction and candid street photography, before merging into modernism.

Photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson brought a new dynamism to their pictures by capturing people as they appeared going about their business on the street, while artists such as Man Ray extended a Surrealist approach to photography, placing props directly onto photo paper and capturing their ghostly silhouettes. Still more photographers continued to experiment with their craft and ultimately defined a generation of photography. Among the pieces included in this clothbound volume are some of the definitive examples of the medium.
