Was John Szarkowski the most influential person in 20th-century photography? https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2010/jul/20/john-szarkowski-photography-moma, In his still-challenging book, The Photographer's Eye (1964), Szarkowski included snapshots alongside images by great photographers, and argued – brilliantly –

The Photobook Today, The Telegraph: For all their variety, though, there is another quality that unites today's photobooks: personalisation. "John Szarkowski said in 1967 that there was a new generation of photographers whose aim was not to reform the world but to know it," https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/photography/10774134/The-photobook-today.html
