Andreas Feininger vytvořil touto knihou opravdu vynikající učebnici fotografování, která jak v metodice, tak i v popisu všech výrazových možností fotografie nemá v odborné literatuře celého světa srovnatelnou obdobu. Je výsledkem mnohaleté práce, během níž Feininger také vytvořil oněch211 snímků (z celkového počtu 350 zařazených) pro tuto knihu, aby mohl jednotlivé názory co nejvýstižněji ilustrovat. Kniha jasně a bez oklik odpovídá prakticky na všechny otázky, s nimiž se dnešní fotograf bez ohledu na zdokonalování přístrojů setkává: Jaká kamera je nejvhodnější při fotografování těch či oněch objektů? Jaké jsou přednosti a nevýhody objektivů normálních, širokoúhlých a teleobjektivů? K čemu se užívá žlutých, zelených,oranžových a modrých filtrů? Jak se u snímku kontrolují, zvyšují nebo zeslabují kontrasty? atd.
Born in Paris and raised in Germany, Andreas Feininger (1906-1999) was the son of American artist and Bauhaus teacher Lyonel Feininger. By the 1920s, the younger Feininger had already established several stylistic traits in his photographic work, such as monumentalized subject matter and emphasis on texture and line. His nature photographs tend to reveal patterns in animal and plant forms as found in the backbones of a snake or veins in a leaf. After immigrating to America in 1939, Feininger completed almost 350 photographic essays for Life magazine between 1943 and 1962. In addition he published numerous books on photographic theory and technique and his photographs were included in the Museum of Modern Art exhibition "The Family of Man." Structures of Nature presents a selection of Feininger's stunning nature photography. An essay by N. Elizabeth Schlatter considers his work in the context of German photography between the two world wars and in comparison with his American contemporaries.

This book is a superb collection of American scenes taken in the 1940, 1950s and 1960s by one of photography's all time greats, Andreas Feininger.Each image is a fine example of Feininger's incorruptible sense of proportion, a tribute to the inimitable aesthetic quality that became the signature of his work. Many illustrate his ceaseless quest to minimize the difference between idea and reality, his desire to allow mundane subjects to slip into Utopia.Feininger's America is a photographic tour de force, from Chicago to New Orleans, from Hollywood to Coral Gables.
