Edward Weston

Robert Demachy

style: all for pictorialism/photography that resembles painting. "TRANSLATE NOT TRANSCRIBE WORD FOR WORD" thats what art is, its subjective not objective. photography can be art when it overcomes the perfect transcription of reality, like he did with his photos. he defined straight print as literally not being touched, normal development, exposure time, etc. he said this can be beautiful, but it just cant be a work of art! process: gum biochromate time period: 1895 subject: nudes/biblical subjects could stand with slightly less manipulation

Rodchenko

style: art is opium because art lies. we need to take photos because those document, and are real and can become history! his vision: extreme angles (reconstructing society from a new perspective), focused/clean (stand in for masses of the proleteriate), Patriotic, looking toward the future, heroicize angles literally raises the common man above us. artist as engineeer and proleteriate as constructers of a new reality. subject: the common russian man time period: 1920s/30s example: pioneer girl other: leader of avant garde photography in Russia. he wanted photography to replace painting in documenting revolution. background: stalin hired rodchenko to document white sea canal building to confirm the hard work and something new thats going on in russia.

"taxonomy of post-industrial vernacular art" contemporary structures/architecture central subject, simple white background, like older long exposure pics. process: straightforward, takes up whole image, sculpture like time period: 1960s-2000s example: water towers other: like Sander: but with water towers--go out with plan and neutrally photograph these water towers. scientific approach like warhol: serialized grids similar to warhol but no hierarchy like weston: focsed on form like weston but different because not so close up or made to look like something it isnt. why are they so influential to modern photographers: you see similar structures but then you start to notice all the very little differences. testiment to human ingenuity--become what you want it to when you look at it. why is this conceptual: slippage between a photograph and trying to be sculptures.

maholy-nagy

style: constructivism/modernist. similar to lissitsky, art as labor to construct world anew. (constructivism: ought to abolish the traditional artistic concern with composition, and replace it with 'construction.' called for a careful technical analysis of modern materials in communist society) subject: people/society. he was radical, saying photography can replace all other arts and be the sole form of visual communication. strong advocate of the integration of technology and industry into the arts. time period: 1920s/30s example: siesta

Project/book: the americans: evans did intro but he didnt like it so got kerouac non narrative appraoch but they cohere it was controversial in other countries, they wanted hollywood not banality in america condemned for subject matter in america--a lot of division with class and race, injustice below the surface. other: hated life magaizine for images with easy narrative. shot from hit, 28k images, 83 for book. immersed himself in beat culture scene--group of artists that rejected materialism, experimented with psychadellic drugs, interested in sexual liberation

style: exemplar of post-modernism. subject: interested in capturing herself. clues that show she is taking the photo herself. process: time period: 1977-1980=film stills example: "untitled film stills"--each shows herself as another character in another scenerio but we can easily recognize the narrative bcuz familiar stereotypes portrayed in movies. culture creates these constructs that we follow. other: Working around time of diane arbus. later embraced photoshop and digital and people got mad because before she was manipulating herself, now photos. she is making portraits with intense detail via photoshop almost made to look like a daguerreotype like arbus: shes expressing something unpleasant other: relationship to roland barthes--photographer was there, this is something that actually happened.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

style: father of modern photojournalism also had a love of surrealism that mixed in--was also first a painter and that comes through too. he has a predatory sense of the photographer--what gilbertson tried to distance himself from. "content cannot be separated from form"--like a more artistic version of photo journalism. "decisive moment"--form/event the perfect split second. subject: different scenery/cities as well as events and stuff in different countries. time period: 1930s/40s example: seville spain, 1944 **bresson vs. Riis on exam comparison

Adams founded the photography group known as Group f/64, along with fellow photographers Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston.

Nikki S. Lee

style: like cindy sherman, adopted costumes. immersed herself like anthropologist into sub-cultures in america. used cheap camera, someone else takes picture. time/date stamp puts it in context and gives sense of amateur photography. exploring how we create identities. subject: herself/these cultures process: researches, scrutinizes culture, then transforms her appearance completely to actually make even the ppl in the culture think shes a part of it. time period: 1998/early 2000s example: problematic: portraying these people in stereotypical ways. theyre unwaware. dont give credit to photographer.

FOUT was published 1929 example: baker, 1928 project: Face of Our Time grand german portrait of weimer=project. full body, representing profession ultimately rejected because it showed the diversity when hitler wanted to only portray the aerian race, he didnt want people to see what germany was really like. sanders celebrated difference too much. ultaimtely turned to safer pure landscape photography hitler against avant garde, but ironically these photography techniques were used to portray him. fascist photography looked like avant garde. interesting angles, to show power.

Arbus is drawing attn to desire to gawk and become comfortable with these peopleand warhol is taking it a step further and desensitizes us and distances us from the events. just turns it into wallpaper.

Opie

style: portraiture project example: Renee, woman/man in the navy visual: strange sense of scale, she almost looks like a child. doesnt seem to be uncomfortable the way arbus' images do. 1990s

Robbert Flick

"the re-photographic survey project"--re photographing the entire western landscape subject: landscape time period: 1970s through 2000s. example: sequential views, joshua trees-many just focus on form and become more abstract. but then theyre specifically placed to create a picture within a picture. point: commenting on the surveys of taking this land and dividing it up into parts that be chosen and picked for art. undermines whole idea that lanscapes can be seen/understood in general manner.

Lewis Hine
