Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The Galleria Gottardo (Lugano, Switzerland) will surely popularize Texan Eugene O. Goldbeck's panoramic photography with this traveling exhibition and catalog. Goldbeck died in 1986 after a long career producing commercial photographs from his San Antonio-based business, The National Photo Service. He documented some groups in their working or social environments; others he organized into formal patterns that he photographed from specially built towers. While studying the visual details, one can also reflect on the cultural aspects of time and place: for example, the captivating 1922 "Bathing Girl Revue," the disturbingly juxtaposed "Fred Beebe Rodeo riders and Ku Klux Klan drum and bugle corps," and the "living insignias" composed of thousands of military personnel. Bolognesi, an Italian journalist and cocurator as well as coeditor, and others provide the informative textual background. Recommended for public and academic libraries, even those that have one of the two previous monographs on Goldbeck, now out of print.
