    DELLA FOTOGRAFIA “ISTANTANEA” 1839-1865 Giovanni Fanelli 2020 DELLA FOTOGRAFIA “ISTANTANEA” 1839-1865 Giovanni Fanelli 2020 L’arte ha aspirato spesso alla rappresentazione del movimento. Leonardo da Vinci fu maestro nello studio dell’ottica, della luce, del movimento e nella raffigurazione della istantaneità nei fenommeni naturali e nella vita degli esseri viventi. E anche l’arte del ritratto era per lui cogliere il movimento dell’emozione interiore. * La fotografia, per natura oggetto e bidimensionale, non può a rigor di termini riprodurre il movimento come in un certo modo può fare il cinema; può soltanto, se il fotografo ne ha l’intenzione, riprenderne un istante che nella sua fugacità riassuma la mobilità. Tuttavia fin dall’inizio della storia della fotografia i fotografi aspirarono a riprendere il movimento. Già Daguerre o Talbot aspiravano alla istantaneità. Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre, Paris, Boulevard du Temple alle 8 del mattino, fine aprile 1838, dagherrotipo, 12,9x16,3, Munich, Fotomuseum im mûnchner Stadtmuseum. Henry Fox Talbot, Eliza Freyland con in braccio Charles Henry Talbot, con Eva e Rosamond Talbot, 5 aprile 1842, stampa su carta salata da calotipo, 18,8x22,5. Bradford, The National Museum of Photography, Film & Television. Una delle prime immagini fotografiche, il dagherrotipo della veduta ripresa da Daguerre dall’alto del suo Diorama è animata : all’angolo del boulevard du Temple è presente un uomo immobile il tempo di farsi lucidare le scarpe. Le altre persone che certamente a quell’ora animavano il boulevard non appaiono perché il tempo di posa del dagherotipo era lungo (calcolabile a circa 7 minuti) (cfr. Jacques Roquencourt http://www.niepce-daguerre.com/ ).

Negative kept Negative In memoryofRogerNeichandJudithBinney Maori andthe John Leech Gallery, Auckland,2011 John LeechGallery, Introductory essayIntroductory byKeith Giles Michael Graham-Stewart in association with in association John Gow carte devisite _ 004 Preface Photography was invented, or at least entered the public sphere, in France and England in 1839 with the near simultaneous announcements of the daguerreotype and photogenic drawing techniques. The new medium was to have as great an infl uence on humankind and the transmission of history as had the written and printed word. Visual, as well as verbal memory could now be fi xed and controlled; our relationship with time forever altered. However, unlike text, photography experienced a rapid mutation through a series of formats in the 19th century culminating in fi lm, a sequence of stopped motion images. But even as this latest incarnation spread, earlier forms persisted: stereographs, cabinet cards and what concerns us here, the carte de visite. Available from the late 1850s, this small and tactile format rapidly expanded the reach of photography away from just the wealthy. In the words of the Sydney Morning Herald of 5 May 1859: Truly this is producing portraits for the million (the entire population of white Australia). Seeing and handling a carte would have been most New Zealanders’ fi rst photographic experience.

A joint publication by Contents Making a Case: Daguerreotypes, Steve Edwards Making a Case: Daguerreotypes Steve Edwards Abstract This essay considers physical daguerreotype cases from the 1840s and 1850s alongside scholarly debate on case studies, or “thinking in cases”, and some recent physicalist claims about objects in cultural theory, particularly those associated with “new materialism”. Throughout the essay, these three distinct strands are braided together to interrogate particular objects and broader questions of cultural history.

  • The Development and Growth of British Photographic Manufacturing and Retailing 1839-1914
    The development and growth of British photographic manufacturing and retailing 1839-1914 Michael Pritchard Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Imaging and Communication Design Faculty of Art and Design De Montfort University Leicester, UK March 2010 Abstract This study presents a new perspective on British photography through an examination of the manufacturing and retailing of photographic equipment and sensitised materials between 1839 and 1914. This is contextualised around the demand for photography from studio photographers, amateurs and the snapshotter. It notes that an understanding of the photographic image cannot be achieved without this as it directly affected how, why and by whom photographs were made. Individual chapters examine how the manufacturing and retailing of photographic goods was initiated by philosophical instrument makers, opticians and chemists from 1839 to the early 1850s; the growth of specialised photographic manufacturers and retailers; and the dramatic expansion in their number in response to the demands of a mass market for photography from the late1870s. The research discusses the role of technological change within photography and the size of the market. It identifies the late 1880s to early 1900s as the key period when new methods of marketing and retailing photographic goods were introduced to target growing numbers of snapshotters. Particular attention is paid to the role of Kodak in Britain from 1885 as a manufacturer and retailer. A substantial body of newly discovered data is presented in a chronological narrative. In the absence of any substantive prior work this thesis adopts an empirical approach firmly rooted in the photographic periodicals and primary sources of the period.

  • The Techniques and Material Aesthetics of the Daguerreotype
    The Techniques and Material Aesthetics of the Daguerreotype Michael A. Robinson Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Photographic History Photographic History Research Centre De Montfort University Leicester Supervisors: Dr. Kelley Wilder and Stephen Brown March 2017 Robinson: The Techniques and Material Aesthetics of the Daguerreotype For Grania Grace ii Robinson: The Techniques and Material Aesthetics of the Daguerreotype Abstract This thesis explains why daguerreotypes look the way they do. It does this by retracing the pathway of discovery and innovation described in historical accounts, and combining this historical research with artisanal, tacit, and causal knowledge gained from synthesizing new daguerreotypes in the laboratory. Admired for its astonishing clarity and holographic tones, each daguerreotype contains a unique material story about the process of its creation. Clues from the historical record that report improvements in the art are tested in practice to explicitly understand the cause for effects described in texts and observed in historic images. This approach raises awareness of the materiality of the daguerreotype as an image, and the materiality of the daguerreotype as a process. The structure of this thesis is determined by the techniques and materials of the daguerreotype in the order of practice related to improvements in speed, tone and spectral sensitivity, which were the prime motivation for advancements. Chapters are devoted to the silver plate, iodine sensitizing, halogen acceleration, and optics and their contribution toward image quality is revealed. The evolution of the lens is explained using some of the oldest cameras extant. Daguerre’s discovery of the latent image is presented as the result of tacit experience rather than fortunate accident.

Seine Praxiserfahrung setzt Herr Rosenbichler immer wieder wissenschaftlich produktiv ein, um den aus der Sekundärliteratur erschlossenen, teilweise amateurhaft-populärwissenschaftlichen historischen Diskurs über „archaische“ Apparate und Verfahren (z.B.: Camera obscura, Héliographie, Kalotypie) rational-experimentell zu überprüfen. 3) Die Arbeit zeigt zudem den Willen, den manchmal doch etwas sperrigen Stoff sprachlich so aufzubereiten, dass er auch LeserInnen, die nicht im 1 Gutachten für: Rosenbichler.docx Gutachter: Rainer M.

  • Art at Vassar, Spring/Summer 2014
    A publication for the members of The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center • Spring/Summer 2 014 FROM THE DIRECTOR A Sense in Belonging Vassar’s art museum has existed for 150 years yet it has only been part of the official community of art museums for a tiny fraction of that time, having received accredita- tion from the then American Association (now Alliance) of Museums in 2004 and election to the Association of Art Museum Directors a mere two years ago. What took us so long? In the first case of AAM, it was dependent on the arduous process of bring- ing our museum’s organization and management in line with a broad array of profes- sional standards. Over the course of 140 years we had developed many quaint, endear- ing yet idiosyncratic methods and procedures that tend to develop on college campuses such as the liberal use of works from the permanent collection to “decorate” faculty offices and public spaces on campus. Certainly these were benefits to the quality of life of certain portions of the campus population but stood in sharp contrast to sound stew- ardship of gifts meant to enhance the educational mission of the College. In the second case of AAMD, it was always a question of money. Membership in AAMD tradition- ally depended on maintaining a certain level of operating budget to be considered. In spite of the strength of our collection and the historic importance of Vassar’s role in the visual arts in America, our operating budget was always just shy of the AAMD threshold.
