Joshua Rashaad McFadden: I Believe I'll Run On 
Rochester, NY: George Eastman Museum, 2022
ISBN 9780300264265
304 pages

Texts by Lyle Ashton Harris, Joshua Rashaad McFadden, and LaChardles Ward, PhD 
Introduction by Bruce Barnes, PhD

American artist Joshua Rashaad McFadden (b. 1990) makes photographs that explore and celebrate Black life in the United States. Published in conjunction with his first solo museum exhibition, Joshua Rashaad McFadden: I Believe I’ll Run On demonstrates his mastery of a wide range of photographic genres—social documentary, reportage, portraiture, and fine art—and his use of the medium to confront racism and anti-Black violence. Like Black photographers before him, such as Gordon Parks, Roy DeCarava, Carrie Mae Weems, Dawoud Bey, and LaToya Ruby Frazier, McFadden documents the beauty of Black life and illuminates the specificity of Black living in our historical present, including a series of impactful photographs devoted to the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Along with a candid conversation between McFadden and artist Lyle Ashton Harris and an essay that traces McFadden’s meteoric career, this catalogue offers an overview of and insight into a poignant and deeply personal body of work, asserting McFadden’s key role in shaping the art and visual culture of the United States.

The Cromer Collection of Nineteenth-Century French Photography 
Rochester, NY: George Eastman Museum, 2022
ISBN 9780300264272
328 pages

Texts by Sylvia Aubenas, Éléonore Challine, Ellen Handy, Jacob W. Lewis, Anne de Mondenard, and Heather A. Shannon 

In the early twentieth century, Parisian photographer, amateur historian, and collector Gabriel Cromer (1873–1934) amassed a collection that traced photography’s prehistory, invention, and development to about 1890. His dream was to found a national museum of the photographic arts in France. Although Cromer’s ambition was never realized, his collection was central to establishing the world’s first museum dedicated to photography: the George Eastman Museum. The Cromer Collection of Nineteenth‑Century French Photography considers the origin and circulation of the collection as well as the influence it has had on photography as a field of study. The book’s six essays, written by French and American scholars, explore the Cromer Collection’s complex passage across markets, borders, and functions. For more than half a century, curators and scholars worldwide have drawn extensively on the Gabriel Cromer Collection for exhibitions and publications; this book provides the first focused scholarly study of the foundational resource.

Artist Carl Chiarenza (American, b. 1935) photographically transforms cast-off materials into new and provocative images. His photographs suggest mysterious worlds that viewers are invited to explore. This publication accompanies a retrospective exhibition at the George Eastman Museum (February 5-June 20, 2021), which spans Carl Chiarenza's career, beginning with early photographs the artist made as an undergraduate student at Rochester Institute of Technology in the 1950s and concluding with a large selection of his most recent work in collage. The illustrated catalogue, with essays by William T. Green and Keith F. Davis, provides readers an opportunity to follow the continuities and ruptures in Chiarenza's artistic journey as his career enters its seventh decade.
