Spirit into Matter: The Photographs of Edmund Teske
By Julian Cox

This 180-page book provides an introduction to and an extensive biocritical essay on Edmund Teske. The book traces his long career from Chicago in the 1930s to Los Angeles, where the photographer took up residence in 1943. Over a 60-year period, Teske created a diverse body of work that explored the expressive and emotional potentials of the medium, liberating a younger generation of American photographers by opening up new areas of subject matter for them to explore. (Hardcover: $70; Paper: $40)
