The recognition of photography as an art form has been among the medium's dominant philosophical debates ever since its inception, due in part to its mechanical and chemical nature.

While photographs have served as records since the early 19th century —...

Artists who advocated both representational and abstract styles attempted to capture the spirit of their age — a time marked by the...
