Since its opening in 1971, Stockholm’s Museum of Photography has held 150 exhibitions. They have attempted to emphasize two different functions of photography: the photograph as an isolated artistic experience and the photograph as representative of the historical development of this art form in the last 150 years. In the past, viewing a photo implied registering a singular image. Today however, a photograph also aims to express the artist’s ideas, experiences, and emotions. This catalog rejoices in the developments of the 1980s, a turning point for photography whereby the talents of a photographer increasingly simulate those of painter. Stunning photographs by Hans Cogne, Lennart Durehed, Åke E:son Lindman, Tuija Lindström, and Håkan Valentin cogently depict these recent developments that have carved out a much-deserved place for photography in the art world.

This display of 224 mostly 19th century photographs from the Moderna Museet’s collection of photography and photo prints based on art, is only the tip of a massive, still growing and largely unexposed iceberg, yet it gives a clear indication of the range and competence of the whole. Above all, the Desiring Eye focuses on the obsessive compulsion of the photographer to fix the fleeting, transient sensations of the world around him into some kind of chemical and artistic certainty. Throughout the entire history of photography from the 1840s to the present, one constant is the desire of the photographer to capture an image which works and exists at many levels. Included among many Julia Margaret Cameron, Nadar, Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, etc.

This catalogue, published for the exhibition that celebrated 1999 inauguration of the Nordic Embassies in Berlin, presents six wonderful Nordic photographers: Lars Tunbjörk, Pekka Turunen, Eva Merz, Kristján Maack, Fin Serck-Hanssen, and Pia Arke. Though starkly varied in their approach, each of the photographers’ works attest to the Nordic protest against the trivialization of life. Also, they capture the sense of longing for the Nordic essence that exists midway between myth and reality.

For 50 years Matson worked in Jerusalem for the photographic firm run by the American Colony, taking numerous photographs in Palestine and other countries round the Eastern Mediterranean. Here are just a few of his masterpieces from that period, dating from 1917 to 1942, but giving the impression of an immediate reality. These are photographs of people at work, at war, in the marketplace, of statemen and of shepherds tending their flocks. They are all photographs of great historical and artistic value.

Stereograms, in this book, are computer-generated kaleidoscopic images that, although flat, give the impression of solidity or relief. Though they have existed for 150 years, with the help of computers, they have now emerged in a new form as they produce the same effect on the viewer without the need for special viewing devices. These captivating images have a brilliant alluring quality that force you to “see” in a new way. In great detail and with exquisite illustrations, this book- written by an architect, a graphic artist, and a civil engineer- explains the intrigue behind stereograms by charting their history and describing how and why they work.
