Abstract

Depuis les années 1950, la lumière réelle, naturelle ou artificielle, est devenue le matériau privilégié de très nombreuses pratiques artistiques contemporaines, qu'elles proviennent de la peinture, du cinéma ou de la photographie, qu'elles soient associées à l'architecture, à la danse ou aux technologies modernes de communication. C'est dans cette perspective que s'inscrit cet ouvrage : étudier l'émergence de cet art spécifique de la lumière qui utilise la lumière comme matériau et comme objet principal - non pas tant transitivement, pour éclairer, écrire au néon, ou projeter des images, mais intransitivement, pour explorer ses qualités & son poten -tiel esthétiques propres. Après 3 longs entretiens d'artistes ayant mar- qué l'histoire de cette autonomisation de la lumière comme medium artisti -tique (R. Irwin, A. McCall, Y. Kersalé), ce recueil se propose de présen -ter & d'analyser quelques-unes de ces pratiques artistiques, de reconsti -tuer leur genèse, d'en décrire les présupposés & les conséquences esthé- tiques.

Abstract

This is a thoroughly illustrated guide to the history and technology of autochromes with a practical guide for storage & preservation. Louis Lumiere is perhaps best known for his seminal role in the invention of cinema, but his most important contribution to the history of photography was the autochrome. Engagingly written and superbly illustrated with over 300 images, "The Lumiere Autochrome" tells the fascinating story of the first industrially produced form of colour photography. Initial chapters present the Lumiere family enterprise, set out the challenges posed by early colour photography, and recount the invention, rise, and eventual decline of the autochrome, which for the first four decades of the 20th-century was the most widely used form of commercial colour photography. The book then treats the technology of the autochrome, including the technical challenges of plate fabrication, described in step-by-step detail, and a thorough account of autochrome manufacture. A final chapter provides in-depth recommendations concerning the preservation of these vulnerable objects, including proper storage and display guidelines.

Abstract

"A one-volume reference that covers every imaginable interaction of atmosphere and light . . . This definitive book is once again available." SKY & TELESCOPE"A change-your-life classic . . . This deeply perceptive book changes our own perceptions of all kinds of light and color events in the outdoors. You will never see the same way again outdoors. Some examples involve elementary optics (which explain the visual phenomena) but nearly all the 278 short chapters can be appreciated by the visually alert reader. My favorite examples include dappled light, rainbows (there are always two), and differences between reflected and transmitted light in seeing leaves and grass. The Dover edition is fine; the Springer-Verlag edition is better with its excellent color photographs." EDWARD R. TUFTE, Author of The Visual Display of Quantitative InformationAll of science springs from the observations of nature. In this classic book, the late Marcel Minnaert accompanies the reader on a tour of nature's light and color and reveals the myriad phenomena that may be observed outdoors with no more than a pair of sharp eyes and an enquiring mind. From the intriguing shape of the dapples beneath a tree on a sunny day, to rainbows, mirages, and haloes, to the colors of liquid, ice, and the sky, to the appearance of the sun, moon, planets, and stars - Minnaert describes and explains them all in a clear language accessible to the general reader. The author's enthusiasm inspires the reader, who is encouraged and given abundant opportunity to make his or her own observations and perform simple experiments. Yet the phototgrapher, astronomer, or physicist will also find a wealth of detailed information, much available elsewhere, on more exotic phenomena assembled by Minnaert over many years. Among them are Sun dogs, the fata morgana, coronae, glories, noctilucent and iridescent clouds, and haloes. This volume includes 80 new photographs, over half in color, illustrating many of the phenome

Abstract

Starting from a rather elementary level, this volume includes a self-contained, concise introduction into the quantum theory of matter and develops in detail the quantum theory of light. It presents the approaches needed to cope with the various interaction processes between light and matter and illustrates them by various examples. Recent developments such as the dynamic Stark effect and quantum beats are also covered.
