  • Transforming Practices
    Transforming Practices: Imogen Cunningham’s Botanical Studies of the 1920s Caroline Marsh Spring Semester 2014 Dr. Juliet Bellow, Art History University Honors in Art History Imogen Cunningham worked for decades as a professional photographer, creating predominantly portraits and botanical studies. In 1932, she joined the influential Group f.64, a group of West Coast photographers who worked to pioneer the concept of “Straight Photography,” a movement that emphasized the use of sharp focus and high contrast. Members of Group f.64 included Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, whose works have since overshadowed other photographers in the group. Cunningham has been marginalized in histories of Group f.64, and in the history of photography in general, despite evidence of her development of many important photographic practices during her lifetime. This paper builds on scholarship about Group f.64, using biographical information and analysis of her photographs, to argue that Cunningham influenced more of the ideas in the group than has been recognized, especially in her focus on the simplification of form and the creation of compelling compositions. Focusing on her botanical studies, I show that many of the ideas of f.64 existed in her oeuvre before the formal creation of the group. Analysis of her participation in the group reveals her contribution to developments in art photography in that period, and shows that her gender played a key role in historical accounts that downplay her significant contributions to f.64. Marsh 2 Imogen Cunningham became well known in her lifetime as an independent and energetic photographer from the West Coast, whose personality defined her more than the photographs she created or her contribution to the developing straight photography movement in California.

Rumors—such as it was painted in one alcohol-fueled night and at first didn’t fit the intended space —abound.

  • The History of Photography: the Research Library of the Mack Lee
    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

  • Edward Weston's Studio Nudes and Still

This thesis examines his treatment of the nude female form and examines the relationship that the photographs establish between the human body and the natural world. Through a series of in-depth visual and formal analyses of his early nudes and still-lifes, I show that Weston un-animated the human body, while animating the vegetables, shells, and landscapes that he photographed. Thus, he created not a vertical hierarchy where humans are placed above the natural world, but instead created a horizontal plane where all natural forms are equalized. This approach differs from most of the pre-existing scholarship on Weston, which has long interpreted his work using either the biographical method or feminist theory, both of which serve primarily to either maintain or reject Weston‘s heroic status; this paper attempts to instead explain how the photographs themselves serve to create meaning.

Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Center July 31-November 25, 2007 Edward Weston “I want the greater mystery of things revealed American (1886-1958) more clearly than the eyes see.” White Radish, 1933 Gelatin silver —Edward Weston, Daybook, April 26, 1930 © 1981 Arizona Board of Regents, Center for Creative Photography The J. Paul Getty Museum 84.XM.896.1 LOS ANGELES—A presentation of Edward Weston’s work will be on view in Edward Weston: Enduring Vision, at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Center, July 31-November 25, 2007. Drawn primarily from the Museum’s holdings along with a selection of complementary loans, this exhibition will feature approximately 150 photographs that trace the breadth of Weston’s accomplishments from the 1900s into the 1940s in California, Mexico, and across the United States. “Weston is a seminal figure in the history of photography,” says Michael Brand, director of the J. Paul Getty Museum. “We are fortunate to have a strong holding of his works and delighted to be able to share them with the public in this major exhibition.” Born outside Chicago, in Highland Park, Illinois, Weston (American, 1886–1958) ranks among America’s most revered photographers. After completing training in 1908 at the Illinois College of Photography, Weston married Flora Chandler and settled in Tropico, a suburb of Los Angeles (now Glendale), where he opened his own studio and quickly gained a reputation as a portrait photographer.

  • Voyage of the Eye Is a Testament to Brett Weston's
    ft Afterword by Beaumont Newhall An Aperture Monograph : BrettWston \fcyageoftheEye Brett Weston's photography is marked by a strength of form. Whether it is an Alaskan glacier miles away or shards of broken glass in San Fran- cisco inches from the camera, his images seize exhilarating patterns in the natural and man-made world. In the foreword to Weston's famous "White Sands" portfolio, Nancy Newhall writes, "Instead of abstract sculpture, he saw a magic play of light grasses, ghostly in their winter death, shadowing the massive, luminous dunes with silver, the spikes and bells of yucca black as jet against them. He saw the delicate aerial structure of eerie plants reaching into the skies, the dunes grey with storm or gleaming with snow against dark distant moun- tains—endless absorbing variations!" Brett Weston has been a photographer since the day in Mexico when his father, Edward Weston, lent him a Graflex camera. That was in 1 925, just before Brett celebrated his fourteenth birthday. He absorbed technique with remarkable speed and proficiency; and his youthful prints showed such individual seeing, such craftsmanship, and such quality that his father was proud to display a group of them along with his own photographs at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1 927 and at the international exhibition "Film und Foto" in Stuttgart, Germany, two years later. Voyage of the Eye is a testament to Brett Weston's fifty years of evolving vision. It presents the photog- rapher before the infinite play of landscape, objects and forms—vivid, authentic, uncompromising.
