Una nueva edición del mítico libro de John Szarkowski, que fue fotógrafo y director del departamento de fotografía del Museo de Arte Moderno (MoMA, por sus siglas en inglés) de Nueva York y autor de numerosos libros. *El ojo del fotógrafo* es una introducción al arte de la fotografía que reúne imágenes de respetados maestros y de fotógrafos desconocidos que surgió a partir de una exposición en 1964, y fue publicado por primera vez en 1966. El libro nos acerca al lenguaje fotográfico a través de la obra de grandes maestros como Avedon, Cartier-Bresson, Doisneau, Evans, Frank, Penn, Steichen, Strand o Weston. Investiga las características visuales de las fotografías y las razones que las explican, dividiendo las imágenes en cinco apartados, examinando las alternativas a las que se enfrenta el artista: la cosa en sí, el detalle, el marco, el tiempo y la posición aventajada. Se interesa por la tradición y el estilo fotográficos, con el sentido posibilista que el fotógrafo aplica hoy día a su trabajo. La invención de la fotografía trajo consigo un método de creación de imágenes radicalmente nuevo, basado en la selección y no en la síntesis. La diferencia básica es que las pinturas se crean, se construyen a raíz de un conjunto de esquemas, habilidades y actitudes tradicionales; las fotografías, sin embargo, se toman. Esta diferencia planteó un problema creativo de nueva índole: ¿cómo podría ese proceso mecánico y automático ofrecer imágenes significativas en términos humanos; imágenes dotadas de claridad, coherencia y perspectiva? Desde entonces, la historia de la fotografía no ha sido tanto un viaje como un crecimiento, que se ha propagado desde un epicentro penetrando en nuestra conciencia.
