In addition to photographs, cameras and photographic apparatus invented during the past ninety-eight years wi3.3 be shown. The exhibition wi31 demonstrate the particular characteristics cf different techniques, the artistic q ual'itiea of each process, and the relation of tech- nica3 and esthetic developments of photography to the taste and sociaj needs of the times. Among the rare specimens of photography inc3uded in this exhibition are: a reproduction of the ear3iest daguerreotype in existence, a photograph of the first ca3otype negative, early photographs "by David Octevius Hill, photographs of Bayard's first direct paper positives, the first " candid camera" photograph, the earliest photographs taken by f3rsh3ight, Muybridge's photo­ graphs of animal loeomotien and other oar3y instantaneous photo­ graphs, Brady's documentary photographs of Civi3 War scenes, At- get's famous views of Paris. Approximately haJf of the photo­ graphs to be shown are the work of distinguished contemporary photographers, The exhibition has been a'ssemb3ed under the direction of Beaumont Newhr3 3, Librarian of the Museum of Modern Apt, For a3 - most a year Mr. Newha33 has been connecting materia3 from Ameri­ can sources and photographers and 3.ast fa3 3 spent scvera3. months in Europe where he obtained both contemporary work and "old mas­ ters" of fcrout rarity. Supplementing the main historica3 so- '/ quence of the exhibition w!3D be sections devoted to color, press, end scientific photography, end the re.lr.tion between painting and photography. The catalog of the exhibition wi.l 3 contain 95 pit ates and on eighty-page foreword by the director of the exhibition. In his foreward Mr. Newhal 1 discusses the question so often raised: "Is photography art?" "The question," he says, "cannot be ig­ nored. Ever sinoe its inception, photography has been confused with a]3 other graphic processes. From time immemoria], pictures had been made only by human hands. Sudden3,y, a mechanica3 method of producing them was presented to an astonished world. Confusion and comparison "between the two methods was natura] and inevitab3e. ii Photography was brought into being by a desire to make pic­ tures. Without exception, those men who were instrumental! in mak­ ing it practical were impe3 3ed by an artistic urge. When a prac­ tical photographic process was announced, artists .looked forward to the hcOp It would give them in observing nature•. .Butf just as photography had >een fostered by would-be artists who Jacked ski33 and training, so it enabled countless followers who had little training to produce pictures. The public found that it could pur­ chase portraits and other records more cheap3y than ever before. Pn economic crisis was precipitated; the Industrie] revolution had penetrated the artist's studio. Minor artists who earned their daily bread largely through the subject-matter of their art rather than through their mastery of form and color probably suffered most. "The early criticism of photography was almost entirely in terms of painting and drawing. But we are seeking standards of criticism generic to photography. In order that such criticism oe valid, photography should be examined in terms of the optical, and chemical laws which govern its production. Primitive photog­ raphy enables us to isolate two fundamental factors which have al­ ways characterized photography--whatever the period. One has to do with the amount of dotal! which can be recorded, the other is concerned with the rendition of values. The first is largely de­ pendent on optical laws, the second on chemical properties. The camera is able to fo«Ufl many details simultaneously, and. so to re- are dfrtfyyftihftflftfch*t we/able to comprehend them more r-G'tviHy in the pho- togrrph than in nature. Thus the photegrrpher is crpobile, under certrin precise circumstances, of offering the essence of the nature! worJ.d."

  • Cecil Beaton (1904–80) Was One of the Great Creative Figures of the British Twentieth Century
    Access Guide Please return at the end of your visit We hope this guide supports your visit. Please speak to any member of staff for more information. VERSION 2 Map Entrance Contents TBC Introduction Cecil Beaton (1904–80) was one of the great creative figures of the British twentieth century. Chiefly known as a photographer of portraits and fashion, through his work for Vogue magazine from 1924 to 1979, he was also recognised as a significant war photographer. An illustrator and caricaturist, a writer and commentator on taste and manners, Beaton was a theatre designer and art director of world renown and an influential stylist of his own homes. This exhibition focuses on Beaton’s early years. Born in Hampstead to a then prosperous timber merchant, Ernest Beaton and his wife Esther (‘Etty’), Cecil was first given a camera in 1914, aged ten. His first subjects were his mother and his willing sisters, Nancy and Barbara (‘Baba’). His transformation from middle-class suburban schoolboy to dazzling society figure against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties and the Age of Jazz revealed a social mobility barely thinkable before the First World War. Here, then, are the Bright Young Things who brought an extraordinary era vividly to life and in so doing, nurtured and refined a remarkable photographic talent. The strength of his singular vision is such that, when we think of the Bright Young Things, we think of them in Beaton’s costumes, through Beaton’s lens and as Beaton’s friends. For full details of all events please see the What’s On guide or npg.org.uk/events Friday 20 March, 19.00 Lecture ‘When I die I want to go to Vogue’: Cecil Beaton’s Most Enduring Patron with Robin Muir Curator Robin Muir looks at the Cecil Beaton’s long working relationship with Vogue.

It also looks at how Cunard’s collecting practices translate into an ‘aesthetic of assemblage’ in her work as an anthologist, and shows how the African sculpture section of her Negro anthology (1934) reflects the collecting cultures of early twentieth-century Europe.

    News Release CECIL BEATON’S DAZZLING BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS BROUGHT TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MAJOR NEW EXHIBITION Rarely exhibited prints by renowned photographer Cecil Beaton go on display at National Portrait Gallery London L-R: Mrs Freeman-Thomas by Cecil Beaton, 1928. © The Cecil Beaton Studio Archive; Cecil Beaton by Paul Tanqueray, 1937. National Portrait Gallery, London © Estate of Paul Tanqueray; The Bright Young Things at Wilsford by Cecil Beaton, 1927. © The Cecil Beaton Studio Archive. Cecil Beaton’s Bright Young Things National Portrait Gallery, London 12 March – 7 June 2020 Cecil Beaton’s portraits from a golden age are brought together for the first time in a major new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London. Featuring 170 works, many of which are rarely exhibited, Cecil Beaton’s Bright Young Things explores the extravagant world of the glamorous and stylish ‘Bright Young Things’ of the twenties and thirties, seen through the eye of renowned British photographer Cecil Beaton. Through the prism of Beaton’s portraits the exhibition presents the leading cast, to many of whom he would become close, and who in these early years helped refine his remarkable photographic style - artists and friends Rex Whistler and Stephen Tennant, set and costume designer Oliver Messel, composer William Walton, modernist poets Iris Tree and Nancy Cunard, glamorous socialites Edwina Mountbatten and Diana Guinness (née Mitford), actresses and anglophiles Tallulah Bankhead and Anna May Wong, among many others. Brought to vivid life each of them has a story to tell. There are the slightly less well known too – style icons Paula Gellibrand, the Marquesa de Casa Maury and Baba, Princesse de Faucigny-Lucinge, the eccentric composer and aesthete Lord Berners, modernist poet Brian Howard, part model for Brideshead Revisited’s mannered ‘Anthony Blanche’, ballet dancer Tilly Losch and Dolly Wilde Oscar’s equally flamboyant niece.

  • Une Exposition De Photographie Française À New-York En 1... 1988
    UNE EXPOSITION DE PHOTOGRAPHIE FRANCAISE A NEW YORK EN 1948 du 21 septembre au 21 novembre 1988 En 1948, Louis Stettner secondé par Willy Ronis, rendit visite" "aux meilleurs photographes français du moment" pour faire avec eux une sélection de leurs travaux en vue d'une présentation dans, les nouveaux locaux de la "Photo League" New Yorkaise. Cette exposition retrouvée intacte et présentée ici comprend 106 photographies de douze auteurs. Elle avait été préfacée par Beaumont Newhall, le célèbre historien américain de la photographie, sous le titre de "Chasseurs d'Images". Ce texte, qui exprime certaines réticences doit être cité intégralement : "Les photographes qui traquent leurs sujets dans les rues, sur les boulevards, dans les cafés, les studios, les parcs ou les squares, dans les villages, les cours de ferme ou les champs, partout, en un mot, où l'on peut regarder vivre les hommes dans leurs diverses variétés, sont appelés en français "chasseurs d'images". C'est un terme bien adapté, et que l'anglais devrait adopter; il souligne ce que ces images ont de particulier et il marque la différence existant entre ces photographes et ceux qui demeurent confiné dans leur studio. La centaine de photographies réunies par Louis Stettner à Paris pour la "Ligue des Photographes" et présentées dans ses nouvelles galeries provient de ces "chasseurs d'images", elles ont une fraîcheur et une spontanéité qui raviront les spectateurs. On ne peut s'attendre qu'à des soupirs de nostalgie car rien n'y manque: les vieux toits en tuile et les forêts de cheminées, la Seine et ses quais, les rues pavées, les cafés, les boutiques et leurs habitués.

    PHOTOACTIVISM: POLITICAL ICONOGRAPHY IN FRANCE, 1944-1968 Nir Avissar Tel Aviv, Israel Master of Arts, Tel Aviv University, 2008 Bachelor of Arts. Tel Aviv University, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia July, 2016 © 2016 Nir Avissar Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to provide a critical history of French reportage photography in the decades following the Second World War, beginning with the Liberation in 1944 and ending in May ’68. During the Trente Glorieuses, reportage photography became an integral part of the media, which operated as the central platform for engaging the public in political discourse. My research explores how, during this era of mass communication, the photographic medium participated in the nation’s political life in concrete historical circumstances. In the course of this investigation, I inspect both the material, thematic, and formal strategies photographers employed to produce images in different political contexts, and the publication history of their works (who published their images, in what format, and for what purposes). The dissertation thus examines the role reportage photography played in promoting political discourse in France by visually engaging the most critical historical processes the nation was undergoing: modernization, democratization, and decolonization. At the same time, it also analyzes the reciprocal impact that changing political climate had on reportage photography. Specifically, it provides an historical account of the multiple causes that effected during the 1960s the displacement of humanist photography by photojournalism as the medium’s prominent current.

ABSTRACT This thesis is the first in-depth study of female photographers’ images of themselves, with their cameras, working in Weimar Berlin. A focus on three self-portraits by women at the heart of the so-called ‘New Photography’, will allow insight into the importance of the self- portrait genre for female photographers, who sought to establish themselves in this rapidly developing field. The photographers Lotte Jacobi (1896-1990), Eva Besnyö (1910-2003) and Marianne Breslauer (1909-2001) have diverse photographic oeuvres yet each produced an occupational self-portrait whilst in Berlin between 1929 and 1933.
