Paul Martineau is a 20 year veteran curator of the Getty Photography art department, and one of the most prolific and respected book authors of seminal monographs and thematic compendiums of photographers and their history. His books include examinations of: Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Rifts, Minor White, Eliot Porter, Imogen Cunningham, Paul Outterbridge, as well as examinations of nudes and still life. I had an opportunity to talk to Paul recently at the museum about this and more.
