Abstract

An engaging and provocative account of photography's first commercial applications in England and their global implications. This book addresses a persistent gap in the study of photography's history, moving beyond an appreciation of single breakthrough works to consider the photographic image's newfound reproducibility and capacity for circulation through newsprint and other media in the nineteenth century.

Abstract

Laure Albin Guillot, un "nom sonore qui devait devenir fameux", peut-on lire au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le paysage photographique français de l'époque est en effet singulièrement marqué par la signature et par l'aura de cette artiste qui, de son vivant, fut certainement la plus exposée et la plus reconnue. Si la photographie de Laure Albin Guillot (1879-1962) est incontestablement l'une des plus en vogue des années 1930 et 1940, elle reste aujourd'hui une énigme. Car, paradoxalement, peu d'études ont été consacrées à l'œuvre et à la carrière de cette artiste pourtant emblématique. Photographe indépendante, elle réalise portraits, nus, paysages et natures mortes, ainsi que de nombreuses illustrations et créations publicitaires. Elle est l'une des premières en France à envisager l'application décorative de la photographie avec ses "micrographies". Consciente des enjeux photographiques et culturels de son époque, elle apparaît comme une figure institutionnelle omniprésente, de la Société française de photographie à la Cinémathèque nationale.

Abstract

"Through a broad range of case studies, the contributors to this volume highlight the historical conditions under which photographs have been made available to the public: in books, magazines, photographic studios, courtrooms, libraries, touring exhibitions, and art galleries. The collected essays focus on those responsible for the dissemination of images, their belief in the power of the photographic medium, the goals they pursued, and the constraints they faced. Addressing the multiple rather than the unique photograph, stressing collective practices of image sharing, and examining the mobility of photographs from one context to another, this book pursues avenues of research in the history of photography that remain surprisingly underexplored"-- "The "Public" Life of Photographs features nine essays by Geoffrey Batchen, Nathalie Boulouch, Heather Diack, André Gunthert, Sophie Hackett, Vincent Lavoie, Olivier Lugon, Mary Panzer and Joel Snyder. These contributorsinternational curators and scholars from a range of disciplinesexamine the emergence of photography as mass culture: through studios and public spaces; by the press; through editorial strategies promoting popular and vernacular photography; and through the dissemination of photographic images in the art world.The book is edited by Thierry Gervais, Head of Research at the Ryerson Image Centre, and an Assistant Professor at Ryerson University"--Publisher's website, viewed November 9, 2016.

Abstract

In the first study of its kind, Michele H. Bogart explores in unprecedented detail the world of commercial art, its illustrators, publishers, art directors, photographers, and painters. She maps out the border between art and commerce and expands our picture of artistic culture and practice in the twentieth century with unexpected pairings of Norman Rockwell and Andy Warhol, J.C. Leyendecker and Georgia O'Keeffe, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Pepsi-Cola, the avant garde and the Famous Artists Schools, Inc. From the turn of the century through the 1950s, the explosive growth of popular magazines and the national advertising that supported them offered artists new sources of income and new opportunities for reaching huge audiences. Bogart shows how this change in the marketplace forced a rethinking of the purpose of artistic practice. She examines how Howard Pyle, Charles Dana Gibson, Norman Rockwell, and other illustrators understood their identities. She looks at billboard production; at the growing schism between art posters and billboard advertisements; at the new roles of the art director; at the emergence of photography as the dominant advertising medium; and at the success of painters in producing fine art for advertising during the 1930s and 1940s.
