Rather, it applies these themes to photographs of living subjects or empty spaces, laying upon each image a blanket of pain, loss, or critical dissatisfaction. Postmodern theorists such as Rosalind Krauss and Geoffrey Batchen root their work in the writings of Roland Barthes, which privilege a photograph’s viewer over its subject or maker. To Barthes’ followers in the 1980s and 1990s, the experiences depicted within the photograph were not as important as our own relationships with it, in the present. The photographers of the Pictures Generation produced groundbreaking imagery that encouraged the viewer to question authority, and even originality itself. Little was said, though, about intimacy, beauty, the actual fact of death, or the author’s individual experience. However, a significant group of American art photographers at the end of the twentieth century began making works directly featuring their own personal experiences with mortality.

  • Self-Portrait: the Photographer's Persona 1840-1985

    Self-Portrait: the Photographer's Persona 1840-1985

    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release October 1985 SELF-PORTRAIT: THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PERSONA 1840-1985 November 7, 1985 - January 7, 1986 SELF-PORTRAIT: THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PERSONA 1840-1985, an exhibition of self- portraits taken by major European and American photographers of the last century, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on November 7, 1985. Organized by Susan Kismaric, associate curator in the Department of Photography, this highly selective survey provides a fascinating record of artistic exploration through one of the most intimate and revealing of art forms. Andre Kertesz, Eadweard Muybridge, Felix Nadar, August Sander, Imogen Cunningham, and Alfred Steiglitz are among the masters of photography represented (partial list of artist names attached). Since photography's origins in the late nineteenth century, artists have expressed the idea that the self-portrait is a form of performance. Kismaric states, "The photographer who attempts an investigation of his physiognomy or personality or who consciously or unconsciously projects an idea about himself enacts a role. The plasticity of photography allows the self-portraitist to experiment, to assume many identities; in self-portraiture the photographer can become the hero, the adventurer, the aesthete--or a neutral ground upon which artistic experiments are played out." One of the earliest photographs included in the exhibition is a modern print of Hippolyte Bayard's Self-Portrait as a Drowned Man (1840), the artist's amusing response to Daguerre's announcement of the invention of photography. Bayard had perfected a method of making photographs at the same time as Daguerre, but it was Daguerre whose method was first published and who received the acclaim.

    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.

  • The Clarence H. White School of Photography

    The Clarence H. White School of Photography

    The Clarence H. White School of Photography Bonnie Yochelson Clarence Hudson White (1871–1925) is remembered today as a gifted Pictorial photographer whose talent was recognized and promoted by Alfred Stieglitz at the turn of the twenti- eth century. In 1906, White moved from Ohio to New York to work more closely with Stieglitz, but the two men parted ways in 1910, when Stieglitz turned his back on Pictorial pho- tography to promote modern art. In New York, White began teaching photography, and his own art foundered. In 1923, he told a colleague, “I still have a thrill when I think I am on the right road, and a little envy when I see a beginner who appears to have arrived.”1 White’s legacy, however, leaves no cause for regret. His vision of photography’s future was prophetic; his social and aesthetic philosophy was con- sistent; and his program for training young photographers, which extended far beyond the classroom, was effective.2 By the time of his death, at age fifty-four, White had succeeded in establishing an institutional network to sup- port the artistic and professional ambitions of his students. The 1920s were a heady time, when an avowed socialist like White could launch his students’ art careers in the pages of Condé Nast magazines. That moment passed with the Depression, which deflated the artistic pretentions of pub- lishers, focusing their attention on the bottom line, and marked the collapse of the delicate balance of art and com- merce for which White had worked so tirelessly. But his efforts did not go unrecognized at the time.

    Microfilms International 300 N

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photograpned, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Master of Arts (Art History), August, 1992, 131 pp., 22 illustrations, bibliography, 32 titles. A major figure to emerge in the history of American photography is Carlotta Corpron (1901-1987), who taught art at Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas from 1935-1968. The rediscovery of her abstract images created during the 1940s reflects the growing recognition of the experimental photography at the New Bauhaus in Chicago from 1937-1946. Corpron's abstract photographs were stimulated by her interaction with Lazlo Moholy-Nagy and Gyorgy Kepes. Corpron was an innovator in the development of abstract photography in the United States. This thesis connects her work to that of Moholy-Nagy and Gyorgy Kepes as well as other major figures in American photography of the twentieth century. Copyright by Erin L.

    The Museum of Modern Art No. 82 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart Wednesday, November 11, 196k FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADVANCE ONLY A retrospective exhibition of the works of Andre* Kertgsz, Budapest-born pioneer of modem photography, will be shown at The Museum of Modern Art from November 2k, 19#b through January 2kf I965. "Kertfisz1 work" according to John Szarkowski, Director of the Department of Photography, "perhaps more than that of any other photographer, defined the direction in which modern European photography developed." KertSsz was born in 189^, graduated from the Academy of Commerce in Budapest in 1912 and took a job with the Hungarian Bourse, He purchased a camera with his first savings. During the next decade he experimented with photography, his interest stimulated by the occasional publication of his work in Hungarian magazines. By f ', I9S5, he had convinced himself — and his family — that he was not a financier, and was a photographer. He went to Paris arriving at the moment when the picture magazine and illustra­ ted newspaper ware beginning to receive widespread attention. Soon, he was doing press photography for leading European newspapers and attracting attention with his unconventional method of covering assignments. One of his fellow Parisians recalls, "While other press cameramen bunched together, Kertgsz loitered on the sidelines filming the significant background of events." He also used a small camera which he considered more discreet and more flexible; first a Goertz-Tenax, which most professionals considered a "toy" and, after I928, a Lelca. His fellow professionals scorned the small hand-held camera, until Kertgsz demonstrated the freedom it allowed.
