Ghost in the Shell: Photography and the Human Soul, 1850-2000

Published in conjunction with a Los Angeles County Museum of Art exhibition of the same name, Ghost in the Shell takes a deeper look at portraiture, collecting works in search of the inner experience. In three heavily, inventively illustrated essays, the authors relate 150 years of photographers' searches for the soul. From Nadar and the medical photographs of Duchenne de Boulogne to Cindy Sherman and Andy Warhol, no stone remains unturned.
