Creative Photography, Studio Vista / Reinhold, 1969

‘”The illiterate of the future’, wrote Laszlo Moholy-Nagy before the last war, “will be the person who cannot photograph’; and indeed today much of this illiteracy has vanished. This book traces the evolution of photography as an art, showing its history as a succession of prohibitions which each generation establishes and the next rescinds. Examples of unorthodox photographic work are illustrated, as the author believes that much may be learned from aesthetic misbehaviour.’
