Faking ItManipulated Photography before Photoshop
“Brilliant, exhaustive…extraordinary.”—BOMB “As ‘Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop’—curator Mia Fineman’s illuminating book ...shows us, the habit of aggressively adjusting photographs is actually an activity dating back to photography’s earliest days, and one that exposes a central question about the truth or artifice of the medium.”—The Boston Globe “Each chapter, as well as the “Discussions of Individual Works,” yields pleasures and erudition … this finely curated collection is an unequivocal delight.”—Publishers Weekly "Meticulously researched… Yves Klein’s famous Leap Into the Void… is one of many fascinating stories in this book." —Creative Review “Fineman…presents a most extensive and articulate survey of the myriad ways that photographers have created manipulated photographs over the past 170-odd years. Illustrated with 276 well-reproduced examples of work ranging from the vernacular to the deliberately aesthetic, this well-written book has a good bibliography and a glossary of technical terms…Recommended.”—Choice
