Abstract

This book is a catalogue of an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. At this sesquicentennial celebration, it has been our intention in both the exhibition and the catalogue to present and analyze those photographs that, regardless of why they were made, seem the most visually significant. Limiting ourselves, for the most part, to American and European photographers, we have attempted to chart the development of an understanding of photography as a pictorial device.

Abstract

Few inventions have had as powerful an influence as the camera, and few modes of expression have enjoyed the enduring artistic, scientific, and popular appeal of photography. We are so focused on the products of the camera, the indelible images marking our lives and times, that it's easy to forget the instrument itself has a history. Now that history has been comprehensively traced for photography buffs and amateurs alike by Todd Gustavson, Curator of Technology at George Eastman House. In this stunning volume, hundreds of new and archival images from George Eastman House bring the story to life and provide an unmatched reference source. Vast in its scope, this groundbreaking book is an in-depth visual and narrative look at the camera, and consequently photography itself, as never before seen. - Jacket.

Abstract

Ein Flohmarktfund in den 1970er-Jahren hat zur Entstehung einer einmaligen Sammlung mit nunmehr über 500 000 Fotografien geführt. Heute gehören Ruth und Peter Herzog zu den wichtigsten Fotosammlern weltweit. Die Bestände stammen aus der Frühzeit der 1839 erfundenen Technik und reichen bis in die 1970er-Jahre. Sie umfassen neben den berühmten Pionieren des Mediums wie Nadar oder Eadweard Muybridge auch bisher wenig bekannte oder anonyme Fotografen. Die Publikation vermittelt erstmals ein umfassendes Porträt dieser faszinierend vielfältigen Sammlung, die seit 2015 im Jacques Herzog und Pierre de Meuron Kabinett Basel konserviert und wissenschaftlich aufgearbeitet wird. Anhand von rund 300 ausgewählten Objekten werden thematische Schwerpunkte vorgestellt. Die Textbeiträge widmen sich zentralen Themen der Fotografie, etwa dem spannungsvollen Verhältnis zur Kunst oder der Beziehung von Fotografie und Geschichtsschreibung.

Abstract

"This influential text by French historian and theorist François Brunet considers the invention and history of photography as the birth of an idea, rather than a new type of image. This 'idea photography' combines a logical theme - that of an art without artistry - and the democratic political promise of an art for all. Officially endorsed by the 1839 French law on the daguerreotype, this idea reverberated throughout the nineteenth century in Europe and America. Brunet shows how emerging image technologies and practices in France and Britain were linked to this logical / political construction of photography, from the earliest researches of Nicéphore Niépce, Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, and Henry Fox Talbot up to the turn of the twentieth century. The parallel development of the Kodak camera and Alfred Stieglitz's 'straight' vision in the United States then fulfilled, while also depreciating, the utopian promise of photography for all. This history reached a provisional climax with the reflections on images by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Hippolyte Adolphe Taine, Sigmund Freud, Henri-Louis Bergson, and Charles Sanders Peirce, reflections that both demonstrated the novelty of photography and forecast many later debates on its technology and aesthetics. The Birth of the Idea of Photography has been enriched with more than fifty photographs, reproduced in color, from North American and European collections. This edition also features a new preface by the author."--

Abstract

This lavishly illustrated volume looks at the myriad ways in which the burgeoning art of photography dialogued with Impressionist painting. In the 19th century, numerous photographers chose the same motifs as Impressionist painters: the forest of Fontainebleau, the cliffs of Étretat or the modern metropolis of Paris. They, too, studied the changing light, seasons and weather conditions. From its inception, photographers pursued artistic ambitions, as evidenced by their experimentation with composition and perspective, by means of various technical procedures. Until the First World War, the relationship between photography and painting was characterized both by competition and mutual influence. The exhibition and catalogue examine these interactions and illuminate the development of the new medium from the 1850s to its establishment as an autonomous art form around 1900.
