Book Synopsis Feeling Photography by : Elspeth H. Brown
Download or read book Feeling Photography written by Elspeth H. Brown and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative collection demonstrates the profound effects of feeling on our experiences and understanding of photography. It includes essays on the tactile nature of photos, the relation of photography to sentiment and intimacy, and the ways that affect pervades the photographic archive. Concerns associated with the affective turn—intimacy, alterity, and ephemerality, as well as queerness, modernity, and loss—run through the essays. At the same time, the contributions are informed by developments in critical race theory, postcolonial studies, and feminist theory. As the contributors bring affect theory to bear on photography, some interpret the work of contemporary artists, such as Catherine Opie, Tammy Rae Carland, Christian Boltanski, Marcelo Brodsky, Zoe Leonard, and Rea Tajiri. Others look back, whether to the work of the American Pictorialist F. Holland Day or to the discontent masked by the smiles of black families posing for cartes de visite in a Kodak marketing campaign. With more than sixty photographs, including twenty in color, this collection changes how we see, think about, and feel photography, past and present. Contributors. Elizabeth Abel, Elspeth H. Brown, Kimberly Juanita Brown, Lisa Cartwright, Lily Cho, Ann Cvetkovich, David L. Eng, Marianne Hirsch, Thy Phu, Christopher Pinney, Marlis Schweitzer, Dana Seitler, Tanya Sheehan, Shawn Michelle Smith, Leo Spitzer, Diana Taylor
Download or read book Portraiture written by Shearer West and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-04-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating new book explores the world of portraiture from a number of vantage points, and asks key questions about its nature. How has portraiture changed over the centuries? How have portraits represented their subjects, and how have they been interpreted? Issues of identity, modernity, and gender are considered within a cultural and historical context. Shearer West uncovers much intriguing detail about a genre that has often been seen as purely representational, featuring examples from African tribes to Renaissance princes, and from 'stars' such as David and Victoria Beckham to ordinary people. In the process, she shows us how to communicate with the past in an exciting new way.
Book Synopsis How to Read Portraits by : Kathryn Calley Galitz
Download or read book How to Read Portraits written by Kathryn Calley Galitz and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2024-04-29 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraiture goes far beyond capturing a likeness. This intimate genre sheds light on the subjects’ and makers’ politics, relationships, aspirations, and insecurities. Featuring more than fifty works across time and cultures, from the lifelike Faiyum funerary masks of ancient Roman Egypt to Pablo Picasso’s and Marsden Hartley’s abstractions to likenesses imagined by contemporary artists, this publication probes the notion of what constitutes a portrait, beyond mere verisimilitude. Bestselling author Kathryn Calley Galitz illuminates how artists through the ages have exploited the genre to reveal character and convey power and status; how artists as varied as Rembrandt and Cindy Sherman embraced artifice and roleplaying to explore identity; and how the term “portraiture” encompasses a wider variety of works than typically thought. This reexamination of a deceptively familiar genre provides fascinating ideas about what these images can tell us about the sitter, the artist, the culture in which they lived, and ourselves.
Book Synopsis A Democracy of Imagery by : Colin Westerbeck
Download or read book A Democracy of Imagery written by Colin Westerbeck and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colin Westerbeck's criterion in choosing the 100 photographs published here was to seek out underappreciated work by great photographers and great work by underappreciated photographers. These 100 prints have all been drawn from the many thousands in the inventory of Howard Greenberg Gallery. Westerbeck was particularly drawn to Greenberg's wide-ranging taste in both American and European photography of the twentieth century. The resulting book bears the name A Democracy of Imagery because Westerbeck believes all the works it contains should be considered equal. Each has been selected for its individuality - indeed, its idiosyncrasy - rather than its similarity to or compatibility with other images. In this spirit, works chosen for commentary are discussed individually. Westerbeck explores the background stories of particular photographs, as opposed to generalizing about the photos as a whole.

Book Synopsis 55 Portraits of Europe by : Adolfo Escat
Download or read book 55 Portraits of Europe written by Adolfo Escat and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to 55 Portraits of Europe. Street Photography. In this photography book, you will find 55 portraits of people living in Europe and in different cities from countries such as Ireland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France.There are individual portraits and group portraits; portraits of aged people, adults, young adults, and portraits of children; portraits of citizens going about their daily activities; portraits of people working and portraits of people enjoying life in festivals or showing their hobbies. There are even two self-portraits, the first and the last pictures. The pictures are in colour and in black and white.There are happy and sad portraits as well. I have encountered people in financial need and helped them. You will find some of them here, projecting their humanity in a very dignified way. Equally, I have admiration for models that openly show their physical defects unconcerned. It takes a lot of courage and dignity to open a mouth and smile when there are no teeth there.The vast majority of the portraits are spontaneous ones. I happened to be there, walking on the street, and I asked the portraited person if I could take a picture of her. I am therefore very grateful to the photographed models for their patience and generosity. I am fascinated by the way we humans project ourselves into the public eye, the clothes we choose to wear, the statements made with the way we appear in public spaces. You will find some of this fascination here.I try to present models under the best possible light and I frame the pictures accordingly to obtain the best of the models. Also, the pictures are presented in a way that they interact with each other, in as much as this is possible or imaginable.Taking these pictures was an immense pleasure and I hope that the viewers will appreciate the value of the models in posing for the camera.One final reflection. What would be a photographer without a good model, a good light and a good frame?.

Book Synopsis Impressed by Light by : Roger Taylor
Download or read book Impressed by Light written by Roger Taylor and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2007 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography emerged in 1839 in two forms simultaneously. In France, Louis Daguerre produced photographs on silvered sheets of copper, while in Great Britain, William Henry Fox Talbot put forward a method of capturing an image on ordinary writing paper treated with chemicals. Talbot’s invention, a paper negative from which any number of positive prints could be made, became the progenitor of virtually all photography carried out before the digital age. Talbot named his perfected invention "calotype," a term based on the Greek word for beauty. Calotypes were characterized by a capacity for subtle tonal distinctions, massing of light and shadow, and softness of detail. In the 1840s, amateur photographers in Britain responded with enthusiasm to the challenges posed by the new medium. Their subjects were wide-ranging, including landscapes and nature studies, architecture, and portraits. Glass-negative photography, which appeared in 1851, was based on the same principles as the paper negative but yielded a sharper picture, and quickly gained popularity. Despite the rise of glass negatives in commercial photography, many gentlemen of leisure and learning continued to use paper negatives into the 1850s and 1860s. These amateurs did not seek the widespread distribution and international reputation pursued by their commercial counterparts, nearly all of whom favored glass negatives. As a result, many of these calotype works were produced in a small number of prints for friends and fellow photographers or for a family album. This richly illustrated, landmark publication tells the first full history of the calotype, embedding it in the context of Britain’s changing fortunes, intricate class structure, ever-growing industrialization, and the new spirit under Queen Victoria. Of the 118 early photographs presented here in meticulously printed plates, many have never before been published or exhibited.
