THE JACOB COLLECTION | 3 An Introduction from the Collector Like every imaginative child, I was struck by the wonder of the stars: their glow in the darkened sky and formation of patterns, and allusions from the realms of mythology. Beauty, I found, was not the only magnet of fascination. The “odd”, the eclectic, and even the paradoxical commanded attention. When I began collecting, I found my interests were disparate and subjective. There was necessarily no thematic unity or defining biases - rather what spoke to the heart, the intellect, the imagination. Although my life work eventually was defined by the objectivity of mathematics and the immutability of numbers, my tastes on the other hand were broad: the alchemy of changing colours, the dynamic of human evolution in science and art. An exquisite dolphin-decorated sleigh of possible royal provenance, along with an Edison-Type Tin Foil Phonograph have never seemed to me incompatible. They are analogous to that wondrous stratosphere of co-existent stars and planets. Iconic nudes of Zorn align with the gentle eroticism of Icart. An Indo Herat carpet, a George I wing chair, a Queen Anne card table, the striking craftsmanship of Stickley - all form the mosaic of human achievement.

  • Rethinking Documentary Photography
    RETHINKING DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY: DOCUMENTARY AND POLITICS IN TIMES OF RIOTS AND UPRISINGS —————————————————— A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University —————————————————— In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Art History —————————————————— by Jack Opal May 2013 Introduction I would like to think about documentary photography. In particular, I would like to rethink the limits of documentary photography for the contemporary. Documentary, traditionally, concerns itself with the (re)presentation of factual information, constitutes a record.1 For decades, documentary – and especially social documentary – has been under siege; its ability to capture and convey and adequately represent “truth” thrown into question, victim to the aestheticization of the objects, fading trust in their authors, and technological development. So much so that the past three decades have prompted photographer, documentarian, and art historian Martha Rosler to question first its utility, then its role, and finally its future in society. All of this has opened up the possibility and perhaps the need to reconsider the conditions and purpose of documentary practice, and to consider the ways in which it has been impacted by recent technological and historical developments. The invention of the internet and the refinement of the (video) camera into ever more portable devices and finally into the smartphone, and the rise to ubiquity within society of these inventions, signifies a major shift in documentary. So, too, have certain events of the past two decades – namely, the beating of Rodney King (and the circulation of the video of that event) and the development and adoption of the occupation as a major tactic within the political left.

  • The Field of Social Documentary Photography Appears As an Area Of
    PHOTOGRAPHY: METAMORPHOSIS OF REALITY Rochelle Kolodny The field of social documentary photography appears as an area of interest to social scientists owing to its subject matter as well as to the particular issues it poses within the broad context of the relationship of art and reality (Kolodny 1974). Social documentary photography takes cultural reality as its subject-be it a spe- cific community such as Bruce Davidson's East 100th Street, or a generalized com- munity such as The Family of Man. The metamorphosis of existential reality into an aesthetic medium is not unique to photography; it appears, however, that photography's particular qualities, both ontological and phenomenological, create a special kind of metamorphosis. That photographs bear an uncanny likeness to the world of every- day reality has been noted since the inception of the medium. That the air of 'fact- uality', of 'truthful' representation are part of the photographic mystique likewise has been a doainating feature in commentary. On viewing the images made by Matthew Brady at the Battle of Antietam, Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in 1863: Let him who wishes to know what war is ...look at this series of illus- trations ...It was so nearly like visiting the battlefield to look over these views, that all the emotioqs excited by the actual sight of the stained and sordid scene, strewed with rags and wrecks, came back to us, and we buried them in the recesses of our cabinet as we would have buried the mutilated remains of the dead they too vividly represented. (quoted in Taft:235-235) This kindred relationship to the world of experience cannot be overlooked in under- standing photography.

  • Applications of the Fresnel Diffraction of Neutrons
    f\u-*•? 0 *o •? ^- UM-P-78/43 APPLICATIONS OF THE FRESNEL DIFFRACTION OF NEUTRONS A. G. Klein and G. I. Opat School of Physics, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia 3052 ABSTRACT The place of Fresnel diffraction in the overall scheme of neutron interference experiments is outlined and possible applications are discussed in the areas of: magnetic domain visualisation; measurement of nuclear scattering lengths with ver/ small specimens; focussing of long wavelength neutron beams using zone plates. 1. INTRODUCTION In classical optics, two principal types of interference experiment are distinguished: interference by amplitude division and interference by division of wavefront. The first of these, typified by the Michelson and Mach-Zehnder interferometers and by various thin film interference situations, relies on partial reflection, i.e. beam-splitters. They find their realisation in the case of neutron optics in the highly successful single crystal interferometers , in which the dynamical Bragg diffraction of neutrons provides the beam-splitting. Another situation of inter­ ference by amplitude division has been manifested in thin film 2 experiments with neutrons . Interference by division of the wavefront has as its paradigm Young's two-slit experiment, in which spatially separated parts of a coherent wavefront are recombir.ed. One of the classical variants of this scheme is the Fresnel bi-prism experiment which has also been demonstrated in the case of electrons by X A Mollenstedt and, in the case of neutrons by Maier-Leibnitz et al. An even simpler set-up was used by us in 1976 : Naufron b«om from cold Moneehrofflotor Cryttol. o« 200 mm.

Box 162700, Orlando, FL 32816-2700, USA Received 23 March 2005; received in revised form 25 October 2005; accepted 27 October 2005 Abstract The design of plane Fresnel zone plates, and binary-staircase kinoforms, has been analyzed in this paper for a non-imaging applica- tion aimed to increase the performance of point-like detectors. They maximize the irradiance at the focal point of the diffractive element maintaining some constrains in the lateral size of the element. The design of the binary-staircase kinoform has been described as an iter- ative process. Some interesting results have been obtained for the values of the relative aperture number, or F/#. The practical case trea- ted here produces elements with very low F/#. The results shows that the gain of the irradiance at the focal point increases with the focal distance of the binary-staircase kinoform, and decreases with the focal length for a plane Fresnel zone plate having a limited lateral size.
