	John Szarkowski: Photographs
		John Szarkowski was born in 1925 in Ashland, Wisconsin, where he spent his formative years in an environment informed by the agricultural traditions of the Midwest.
		Szarkowski's most recent pictures of apple trees heavy with abundant fruit, and of the fading summer light on the meadow behind his barn, possess a freedom of expression and quality of transcendence that is extraordinary and new.
		John Szarkowski will discuss his work and career with his colleague, historian and author, Joel Snyder, who is Professor of Art History in the Committee on General Studies in the Humanities, the Committee on the Visual Arts, and the College at the University of Chicago.

	John Szarkowski: Photographs
		John Szarkowski was the director of photography at New York's Museum of Modern Art for three decades (1962-1991) which arguably made him the most influential individual in the field of photography during the crucial period when photography itself was finally gaining a rightful status of legitimacy among the visual arts.
		Szarkowski, 80, is, unsurprisingly, a classicist, clearly of the aesthetic of the mid-20th century masters of the art.
		To say, though, that Szarkowski demonstrates the same unsentimental view and concentrated interest in the down-home American experience as that of his admired forebears is not to say that his is not a highly perceptive and profoundly artistic eye.

		Szarkowski talks of the influence of Atget on Weston, Walker Evans, Winogrand, and others and leaves us to recognize the Atget in Cartier-Bresson, Dorothea Lange, and ourselves.
		Szarkowski thus, enriches the literature on Atget, giving meaning to many of the published mindless catalogs of his photographs.
		Mr Szarkowski's method of writing about or around each of the reproductions is quite unique in my experience, and there is a beautiful symbiosis...the word and the picture, each seemingly commenting on each other.

		Szarkowski had been an accomplished fl and white landscape photographer who had been awarded two Guggenheim fellowships.
		Except for a 12-page chronology and Phillips' essay, "John Szarkowski, the Photographer," which appears at the end of the monograph, the only texts present in the book are epistolary messages that the photographer sent to his parents, MoMA, Walker Evans, the University of Minnesota Press and a few friends.
		In her essay, Phillips dedicates far more time to the photographer's work in his first 10 years of practice than to the evolution of his photographic eye after seeing, handling, discussing, editing and exhibiting so many works during his tenure at the Department of Photography.

		The separation Szarkowski implies between photographers and painters is also a modernist vision—a view through rebel-colored glasses.
		The Bierstadt brothers would be a good counterexample (a photographer and a painter working together) or better still, a direct comparison between the landscape paintings from Moran taken on a survey which he traveled with photographer William Henry Jackson says much.
		Szarkowski’s introduction to the minimal exhibition catalogue for 1963’s The Photographer and the American Landscape bothers me on multiple levels.

		Everyone knows of John Szarkowski as the guru behind the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, but too few realize that beyond his scholarship and contribution to the placement of photography in an equal range as painting and sculpture, Szarkowski is a photographer of substance.

		A fascinating comparison of his darkroom techniques is given in two printings of a 1948 negative of Mount McKinley, made in 1949 and 1978 to very different effects, one brooding and luminous, the other crisp and monumental.
		Grandly proportioned, linen-bound and graceful as the images it conveys, Ansel Adams at 100 commemorates the birth of the famous native San Franciscan photographer with 114 of Adams's rich, beloved images spanning his oeuvre, and some delightful photos of the artist.

		These are included in a new book, John Szarkowski: Photographs, and in an exhibit currently at the SFMOMA.
