After having visited the recent Eastman Old Masters' exhibition I was reminded of my lack of any decent comprehensive photo history books on my shelf. I used to get these from the local library but that was an age and a world away.
What are your recomendations for good 20th C photo history books?
I don't need much 19th C as I have books on that era. Prefer books on European as well as American Photography but even just US will do.
BTW any book also needs a decent repro of Sheeler's "Criss-Crossed Conveyors" as I find this missing in too many books (as well as the Eastman Exhibition) as it is to my mind the classic image of American industrialism.
cheers
