havent seen that. but that book "the photography as contemporary art" gives it a try with contemporary guys, schools and themes. its pretty cool, and cheap.

little known trivia fact: its a photo of araki nobuyoshi crossdressing

>>2871782
yes, its called a library
there are tons of books on every art movement you can think of in photography, it just takes a bit of research to find and collect them all. if you're looking for something in particular you could ask here and someone might be able to help

>>2871808
yes I'm sure a school of technical engineering will have all the art history info that OP needs, retard

ps i have a thread of my photos up on /p/ even as we speak, chief. the realy fukked up thing is that even though i make some goofy posts every now and again and as a general rule don't take myself or this board too seriously, i bet i have more posts on /p/ than you rn that are useful critiques, actively beneficial to discussion in a thread, serious considerations of critical theory & writings on photography, advice that's helpful to newbies, and so on.

Fair enough. Was just wondering if there was anything out there a little more... guided.

I'd love to read and learn about it all, I just have no idea where to start.

why feed the troll?

I understand what you mean, but its a tall order.
there are textbooks you can buy under the category of "history of photography" which cover the entire lifespan of photography--- but its not going to be very in depth, and a lot of movements will be left out.

just think about it, how could you condense 200 years of art history (and science, since photographic movements followed advances in technology) in a single book?

here is a place you could start, though:

I used this textbook (on loan) for two of my undergrad photography classes. it must be massively boring to read from front-to-back, but it gives a good overview

This guy is such a cock

>>2872082
if you want someone to spoonfeed you like a retard, go hire a tutor

literally everything posted in this thread could have been googled in less than 5 seconds, prick. we all could have saged and ignored this thread

>>2872091
Not the same guy. Just a rando stumbling on this conversation and noticing how much of a cock you are.

>I have nothing meaningful to contribute, I just like to stop by in random threads to shitpost

well, that much was already clear
