Moyra Davey

Harvard Art Museum, 2008

Melancholy, Nostalgic, and Moody
This was yet another addition to my collection of photo books. I bought the book after I stumbled up on it at a local barnes and noble. What attracted me to it was the introspective writing about photography. She talks about Photography & Accident, quotes Sontag, Walter Benjamin, and Janet Malcolm. A must read for anyone with interest in photography as an art form and not a means of commercial ...

Her large-scale gestural paintings register a great acuity of feeling and tremendous vitality. Leaving America ...

Pennsylvania State University Press, 2005

Excellent book!

Each artist is written about by a different author in college level (at least) language. Content is thoughtful, sometimes surprising and very informative and it deals with objects sometimes not thought of as ...

It is made up of a number of different essays and has profiles on a number of key artists who have addressed the issue of 'work' in art, grouped into three ...
