Book excerpt: "Between the invention of photography in 1839 and the end of the nineteenth century, portraiture became one of the most popular and common art forms in the United States. ... images of human surfaces became understood as expressions of human depth during this era. Combining visual theory, literary close reading, and in-depth archival research, Blackwood examines portraiture's changing symbolic and aesthetic practices, from daguerreotype to X-ray. Considering painting, photography, illustration, and other visual forms alongside literary and cultural representations of portrait making and viewing, Blackwood argues that portraiture was a provocative art form used by writers, artists, and early psychologists to imagine selfhood as hidden, deep, and in need of revelation, ideas that were then taken up by the developing discipline of psychology"--

Book Synopsis My Picture Tells a Story by : Neal Schlosburg
Download or read book My Picture Tells a Story written by Neal Schlosburg and published by NS Image. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neal Schlosburg photographs spontaneous emotions in a formal portrait setting, using a series of photos to create a story... Our disquieting stories and unsettling feelings are often difficult to express to those closest to us. We're afraid of being judged, thought of as less than. Many grow up believing we don't burden another with our difficulties. That's the way I was raised. Internalizing, ignoring, and pretending emotions don't exist affects our daily lives. They impact our temperaments, viewpoints, and relationships with others. In my life, it made me feel disconnected, especially from those closest to me. "My Pictures Tells A Story" is based on a simple premise. This quote by Jill Bolte Taylor says it best. "Just like children, emotions heal when they are heard and validated."Through my images, my storytellers show how safe sharing feelings can be, and how safe sharing your emotions can be. The goal of "My Picture Tells A Story" was to vividly show that sharing emotions with people you trust is safe, healthy, and healing. I created space for my storytellers to share their stories without interruption, and most importantly, without judgment. Like life, their stories are a pallet of emotions. "My Picture Tells A Story", twenty stories by twenty people, a unique portrait study in human emotions...."Professionals have a story to tell with their images. It's rare that any of their work is created from a vacuum. Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Richard Avedon, Mary Ellen Mark, and so many more, all leave an indelible personal stamp of themselves within each photograph they create. Having this ability to capture an image that comes from their heart, as much as it does from their mind, is a gift. My dear friend Neal Schlosburg has this gift. ...Neal is a "true" photographer; he is as much as part of the photo as the subjects are. The work Neal creates is as much for himself, as it is for his subjects and us viewers. The portraits on the pages of this book underscores this symbiotic relationship Neal has with his art." Jimi Giannatti, former Photo Editor for SPIN Magazine & past Photo Editor-in-Chief of Live Sounds Magazine.

Download or read book The Self-Portrait written by James Hall and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hall provides a lively cultural interpretation of the genre from the Middle Ages to today. . . . Rather than provide a series of ‘greatest hits,’ he is more concerned with the reasons why artists create self-portraits.” —The Weekly Standard The self-portrait may be the visual genre most identified with our confessional era, but modern artists are far from the first to have explored its power and potential. In this broad cultural survey of the genre, art historian and critic James Hall brilliantly maps the history of self-portraiture, from the earliest myths of Narcissus and the Christian tradition of “bearing witness” to the prolific self-image-making of today’s contemporary artists. Hall’s intelligent and vivid account shows how artists’ depictions of themselves have been part of a continuing tradition that reaches back centuries. Along the way he reveals the importance of the medieval mirror craze; the explosion of the genre during the Renaissance; the confessional self-portraits of Titian and Michelangelo; the biographical role of serial self-portraits by artists such as Courbet and van Gogh; themes of sex and genius in works by Munch, Bonnard, and Modersohn-Becker; and the latest developments of the genre in the era of globalization. Comprehensive and beautifully illustrated, the book features the work of a wide range of artists including Alberti, Caravaggio, Dürer, Emin, Gauguin, Giotto, Goya, Kahlo, Koons, Magritte, Mantegna, Picasso, Raphael, Rembrandt, and Warhol.

Book Synopsis The Portrait's Subject by : Sarah Blackwood
Download or read book The Portrait's Subject written by Sarah Blackwood and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the invention of photography in 1839 and the end of the nineteenth century, portraiture became one of the most popular and common art forms in the United States. In The Portrait's Subject, Sarah Blackwood tells a wide-ranging story about how images of human surfaces came to signal expressions of human depth during this era in paintings, photographs, and illustrations, as well as in literary and cultural representations of portrait making and viewing. Combining visual theory, literary close reading, and archival research, Blackwood examines portraiture's changing symbolic and aesthetic practices, from daguerreotype to X-ray. Portraiture, the book argues, was a provocative art form used by writers, artists, and early psychologists to imagine selfhood as hidden, deep, and in need of revelation, ideas that were then taken up by the developing discipline of psychology. The Portrait's Subject reveals the underappreciated connections between portraiture's representations of the material human body and developing modern ideas about the human mind. It encouraged figures like Frederick Douglass, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thomas Eakins, Harriet Jacobs, and Henry James to reimagine how we might see inner life, offering a rich array of metaphors and aesthetic approaches that helped reconfigure the relationship between body and mind, exterior and interior. In the end, Blackwood shows how nineteenth-century psychological discourse developed as much through aesthetic fabulation as through scientific experimentation.
