A selection of works from the Per Amor a l'Art Collection that proposes a journey through the history of photography and of the documentary style. From the thirties of the twentieth century, this way of representing the purest and most transparent reality evolves, integrating into artistic photography and moving towards a series of conceptual works that revisit the idea of the archive. The book brings together the diverse views of fundamental authors, among them Walker Evans, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Helen Levitt, Louis Faurer, Robert Frank, Ricardo Rangel, Garry Winogrand, Susan Meiselas, Lee Friedlander and David Goldblatt, who not only aspire to reflect reality but reflect on its veracity, its staging and the concept of seriality.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
