Background information
"When Edwin H. Land invented the Polaroid camera around 1950, he probably didn't realize what he would set in motion. Since then, many photographic artists whose pictures are known to the general public have experimented with the instant camera, explored the technical and creative possibilities of the new medium, discovered new visual languages and created pictures of high aesthetic value and a fascination all of their own.
Content
With its exquisite list of artists as well as the great variety of visual languages, this volume, 'Akt in Polaroid' (Nude in Polaroid), edited by Barbara Hitchcock and Andy Grundberg, provides a good overview of nude photography in the second half of the 20th century." (slightly adapted publisher's text, © Stemmle Verlag, 2000)
