### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most inspiring introduction to contemporary art in photography
*by A***N on 26 November 2021*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential
*by P***N on 19 June 2020*

Excellent volume with a comprehensive and clearly written essay at the beginning.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not quite what I was expecting
*by B***G on 27 November 2012*

I have several of these 'Themes & Movements' books from Phaidon, as a student I found the collection of texts missing from this edition useful and interesting. Maybe the photography book never had the documentation the Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Arte Povera and Feminism ones did ... which would explain why it is so much cheaper. as a large format paperback the reporductions are easily clear enough to demonstrate the point of the photographs and the captions have worthwhile content, though the description of Jeff Wall's 'The Destroyed Room' fails to mention the allusions highlighted in the current 'Seduced by Art' exhibition at the National Gallery. Useful to stimulate interest and identify works and photographers
