About the Book:
A critic once described Walker Evans’s photography as embodying “tender cruelty”—a tension between intimacy and detachment that defines much of the work in this seminal volume. From August Sander’s penetrating portraits of early 20th-century Germans to Philip-Lorca diCorcia’s cinematic street scenes, Cruel and Tender explores the paradoxical nature of photographic realism.
Featuring over 200 works by masters including Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Andreas Gursky, and the Bechers, this book accompanied Tate Modern’s first major photography exhibition. Enhanced with critical essays and artist biographies, it remains an essential survey of documentary and realist photography’s evolution.
Notable Photographers Featured:
Robert Adams, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Rineke Dijkstra, William Eggleston, Albert Renger-Patzsch, Garry Winogrand, and others.
