He tells the story of his father Erwin’s arrival in New York in 1939 and his encounter with LIFE magazine’s arts editor Alexander King, who then “took out a hypodermic filled with a milky fluid and quite unselfconsciously struck the needle into his arm whispering: Vitamin E! You won’t find the article in these pages. It’s one of a growing number of articles on The Classic Platform, an online resource that we have just launched on our website. There are several reasons for its existence. When I developed the concept for The Classic, I was determined that it should be a magazine, not an academic journal, which is why the long articles are interviews or interview-based. But this meant leaving out some fascinating essays and some lengthy scientific papers that I felt would be of great interest. And on occasion, I felt that more could be written on a subject, and that an online resource would be useful. The final reason being that there are just too many interesting things to feature to fit into two issues a year. A few of the articles on The Classic Platform have been published before, the earliest being László Moholy-Nagy’s From Pigment to Light, first published in 1936, but most were written especially for the platform. The team and I are extremely grateful to the authors who gave their time and energy and shared their passions for their respective subjects. There’s news on another front as well, concerning publishing. An important factor behind our magazine’s success is that it’s a print magazine. When we published issue 2, we made issue 1 available as a pdf. We were going to follow the same pattern with issue 3. And then the virus struck. By the time issue 3 was printed, most of the world had shut down. As a free magazine, we rely on our distributors; museums, galleries, auction houses and fairs, all closed or cancelled, so we decided to make issue 3 available as a pdf immediately. This proved to be highly successful and because of it, we have acquired a new and much larger readership, including readers in territories where we haven’t been able to arrange distribution. Virus or not, we will continue like this, publishing the digital version at the same time as the print magazine. This has also appealed to our advertisers, as it means that The Classic has, as they say, “gone global”.

  • The Art of Victorian Photography
    THE ART OF VICTORIAN Dr. Laurence Shafe [email protected] PHOTOGRAPHY www.shafe.uk The Art of Victorian Photography The invention and blossoming of photography coincided with the Victorian era and photography had an enormous influence on how Victorians saw the world. We will see how photography developed and how it raised issues concerning its role and purpose and questions about whether it was an art. The photographic revolution put portrait painters out of business and created a new form of portraiture. Many photographers tried various methods and techniques to show it was an art in its own right. It changed the way we see the world and brought the inaccessible, exotic and erotic into the home. It enabled historic events, famous people and exotic places to be seen for the first time and the century ended with the first moving images which ushered in a whole new form of entertainment. • My aim is to take you on a journey from the beginning of photography to the end of the nineteenth century with a focus on the impact it had on the visual arts. • I focus on England and English photographers and I take this title narrowly in the sense of photographs displayed as works of fine art and broadly as the skill of taking photographs using this new medium. • In particular, • Pre-photographic reproduction (including drawing and painting) • The discovery of photography, the first person captured, Fox Talbot and The Pencil of Light • But was it an art, how photographers created ‘artistic’ photographs, ‘artistic’ scenes, blurring, the Pastoral • The Victorian

John Szarkowski, Director of the Department of Photography, writes in his intro- this duction to the exhibition, "In the past decade/new generation of photographers has redirected the technique and aesthetic of documentary photography to more personal ends. Their aim has been not to reform life but to know it, not to persuade but to understand. The world, in spite of its terrors, is approached as the ultimate source of wonder and fascination, no less precious for being irrational and inco* herent." Their approach differs radically from the documentary photographers of the thirties and forties, when the term was relatively new. Then, photographers used their art as a tool of social reform; "it wac their hope that their pictures would make clear what was wrong with the world, and persuade their fellows to take action and change it," according to Szarkowski, "VJhat unites these three photographers," he says, "is not style or sensibility; each has a distinct and personal sense of the use of photography and the meanings of the world. What is held in common is the belief that the world is worth looking at, and the courage to look at it without theorizing," Garry Winogrand*a subjects range from a group of bathers at Eastharapton Beach on Long Island to a group of tourists at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles and refer to much of contemporary America, from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California to peace marchers in Cape Cod, (more) f3 -2- (21) Winograod was born in New York City in I928 and b3gan photographing while in the Air Force during the second World War.

September 2021 Mehr Informationen zum Buch gibt es auf www.penguinrandomhouse.de Inhalte Buch lesen Mehr zum Autor Zum Buch "Chas's stunning photos bring back the experience." —Francis Ford Coppola</w:p><w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="ds12f" /></w:pPr>Hired in 1976 by Francis Ford Coppola as the still photographer for his masterpiece Apocalypse Now, Chas Gerretsen’s private archive of hundreds of photographs propels readers immediately into the chaos and drama surrounding one of the most important movies ever made. Gerretsen was a renowned freelance photographer who had previously worked in Chile and Vietnam when he got the call from Coppola, who was looking for a combat photographer for a war movie. Given unprecedented access to the film’s stars, extras, crew, and legendary behind-the-scenes drama he spent six months in the Philippines, shooting thousands of images. Culled from that archive, these full-color photographs offer an intimate glimpse of the turmoil and excitement of a Hollywood spectacle rising out of the unpredictable climate of the Philippine rainforest. Capturing the star power of Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, and Dennis Hopper, as well as the sprawling sets, he takes us into the beauty of the Southeast Asian jungle and shows us how its inhabitants were incorporated into the filming. Throughout the book, Gerretsen’s astute reflections of his experience on set are as fascinating as his photography. While Apocalypse Now remains one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time, the making of the film is equally legendary.

  • Untroubled Irving Penn Works from the Pinault
    Untroubled Irving Penn Works from the Pinault Collection 17 January - 28 April 2019 opening on January 16, 5 - 9 PM Curated by Matthieu Humery At Mina Image Centre In collaboration with the Pinault Collection Sponsored by: Banque Libano-Française On January 16, 2019 Mina Image centre will be launching its first exhibition “Untroubled” curated by Matthieu Humery and dedicated to one of the major photographers in the 20th century, Irving Penn, whose work will show for the first time in the Arab World. The exhibition will run till April 28, 2019. A press conference will be held at Mina Image Centre on Tuesday, January 15th at 11:00 a.m. The Curator of the exhibition Matthieu Humery and Mina's director Manal Khader will be available to answer all your questions. “Untroubled” draws from “Resonance”, an exhibition organized by the Pinault Collection at Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 2014, and includes 50 images combining platinum prints, gelatin silver prints, dye transfer prints. The show is not a retrospective and does not follow a chronological order, but aims to underline the development of styles, interests and techniques used by Irving Penn by focusing on the main themes tackled by the artist during his entire career: Small Trades, Corner Portraits, Still Life, Hands of Miles Davis, Icons, Decomposition, Vanities/ Memento Mori, Cranium Architecture, World Societies, thereby revealing the diversity in Irving Penn’s work, which is in itself an invaluable legacy to the world of photography. Penn subjects appear at first glance to be quite disparate: celebrities (Pablo Picasso, Alfred Hitchcock, Salvador Dali, Georgia O’Keeffe…), skulls, and cigarette butts… But to Penn, “It is all one thing”.

  • Portraiture and the Human Subject Print Viewing
    1 Natalie Krick, My Head on Mom's Shoulder, from the "Natural Deceptions" series, 2014 PORTRAITURE AND THE HUMAN SUBJECT PRINT VIEWING This print viewing introduces students to a range of photographs with a focus on portraiture where visual information such as setting, clothing, body language, and facial expression speak to the identity of the subject. Choices made by the photographer such as use of vantage point, lighting, framing, timing and composition also impact the viewer’s perception of the subject. The 2018–2019 exhibition season is generously sponsored by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Illinois Arts Council Agency, the City of Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), and the Efroymson Family Fund. 22 JULIA MARGARET CAMERON British, 1815–1879 Eleanor, 1948 Julia Margaret Cameron's subjects were almost always family 1984:10 members or friends from a social circle of prominent cultural figures. Sir John Frederick William Herschel was a famous Victorian astronomer whose contributions to photography include the invention of the cyanotype "blue-print," inventing photographic fixers, and even coining the term “photography” in 1839. Cameron was a lifetime friend of Herschel, whom she met in South Africa while visiting the Cape of Good Hope in 1835 and later photographed on multiple occasions. While Cameron rigorously sought to maintain the distinction between art photography and "professional" photography (she proudly saw herself as part of the former), she was not unconcerned with the market for her work. That she obtained a copyright for "Herschel" (on April 9, 1867) suggests that she thought the image was especially marketable.

  • Ed Van Der Elsken Archives 1
    ED VAN DER ELSKEN ARCHIVES 1 NOBUYOSHI ARAKI LOVE ON THE LEFT EYE In collaboration with Taka Ishii Gallery 06.09. - 18.10.2014 For the opening exhibition of Ed van der Elsken Archives, we are pleased to present Love on the Left Eye featuring work from Nobuyoshi Araki’s (1940, Tokyo, JP) publication of the same title alongside works from Ed van der Elsken’s Love on the Left Bank. Almost identically titled to the photography book that brought Van der Elsken to prominence, Love on the Left Eye can be seen as an homage to the Dutch pho- tographer as well as a return to Araki’s early inspirations. Araki made the photographs that form Love on the Left Nobuyoshi Araki, Love on the Left Eye, 2014 Eye, with the vision from his right eye obscured due to a retinal artery obstruction. Shot on slide film, Araki used black magic marker to block out the right side of each image, before printing the photographs. The images thus show Araki’s vision, both as an artist and as an individual confronted by his mortality (having recently also recovered from pros- tate cancer). Araki came into contact with Love on the Left Bank in his twenties and took photo- graphs of women in poses inspired by the ones found in Van der Elsken’s book. At this late stage in his career and facing the prospect of loosing all sight from his right eye, we thus find Araki go- ing back to his early influences. “Death comes towards us all, you know,” he says.

  • Photography and Communication: a Study of Interrelationship
    International Journal of English Learning and Teaching Skills; Vol. 1, No. 3; ISSN : 2639-7412 (Print) ISSN : 2638-5546 (Online) PHOTOGRAPHY AND COMMUNICATION: A STUDY OF INTERRELATIONSHIP Debashish Ghosh Scientific Officer, Department of Electrical Engineering, Aruni Maji, Debapriya Palai B.Tech,Forth year, Department of Electrical Engineering, Niloy Chakravorty B.Tech,Second year, Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Institute of Engineering & Management, Kolkata Abstract: Photography has arguably become one of the most potent instruments of communication for a contemporary artist. Its versatility, suggested truthfulness and the way in which artists distort or interpret ''reality'' has been a part of photography since the advent of the daguerreotype in 1839. Taking photographs today are no longer primarily an act of memory intended to safeguard a family's pictorial heritage, but is increasingly becoming a tool for an individual's identity formation and communication. Digital cameras, camera-phones, photo-blogs and other multipurpose devices are used to promote the use of images as the preferred idiom of a new generation of users. The aim of this article is to explore how photography has developed through time in itself and at the same time went on reshaping ideas of communication. Photography has touched and influenced almost all the major aspects of communication; the conclusion calls for a broader consideration of the links between the history of photography and media. Keywords: Photography, Media, Communication, Culture, Art history. Introduction: “The first thing to observe about the world of the 1780s is that it was at once much smaller and much larger than ours. It was smaller geographically …Yet if the world was in many respects smaller, the sheer difficulty or uncertainty of communications made it in practice much vaster than it is today.” This is how eminent Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm starts the first pages of his seminal work on world history in four volumes.

Rahmlow In August 1904, Alfred Horsley Hinton (1863–1908), editor of the British periodical Amateur Photographer and a founding member of the London-based art photography club the Brotherhood of the Linked Ring (hereafter Linked Ring), wrote to Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) to critique recent photographs by Edward Steichen (1879–1973). In the note, Hinton remarks, I admire Steichen’s work for myself but it is the admiration one feels for something strange and uncanny—I can’t think that such work is healthy or would in this country have a beneficial influence. Many, nay most, of his things were very well exhibited to his fellow artists in his studio.
