FOTOFOLIO: Adams, Strand, Weston, Weston, White

This online collection from the Portland Art Museum offers readers a look into some of the best-known photography portfolios created during the five decades between 1940 and 1990. As the site explains, these portfolios were "considered documents rather than works of art, they were typically made for governments or captains of industry. They covered a variety of subjects, including Roman ruins, the topography of the American West, and even new railroad systems." Select an individual photo to read the title, artist, collection area, category, and other credits, as well as a brief description of the work. For instance, selecting the photograph "Willie," by Edward Weston, brings readers to a page where they may learn that Weston was "renowned for his detailed and luxurious photographs of sand dunes, vegetables, and nudes." Readers may also select "View all 77 artworks" to navigate to a page that shows all images from FOTOFOLIO at once, for easy viewing.
