  • The Art of Victorian Photography
    THE ART OF VICTORIAN Dr. Laurence Shafe [email protected] PHOTOGRAPHY www.shafe.uk The Art of Victorian Photography The invention and blossoming of photography coincided with the Victorian era and photography had an enormous influence on how Victorians saw the world. We will see how photography developed and how it raised issues concerning its role and purpose and questions about whether it was an art. The photographic revolution put portrait painters out of business and created a new form of portraiture. Many photographers tried various methods and techniques to show it was an art in its own right. It changed the way we see the world and brought the inaccessible, exotic and erotic into the home. It enabled historic events, famous people and exotic places to be seen for the first time and the century ended with the first moving images which ushered in a whole new form of entertainment. • My aim is to take you on a journey from the beginning of photography to the end of the nineteenth century with a focus on the impact it had on the visual arts. • I focus on England and English photographers and I take this title narrowly in the sense of photographs displayed as works of fine art and broadly as the skill of taking photographs using this new medium. • In particular, • Pre-photographic reproduction (including drawing and painting) • The discovery of photography, the first person captured, Fox Talbot and The Pencil of Light • But was it an art, how photographers created ‘artistic’ photographs, ‘artistic’ scenes, blurring, the Pastoral • The Victorian

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns 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 thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

Rahmlow In August 1904, Alfred Horsley Hinton (1863–1908), editor of the British periodical Amateur Photographer and a founding member of the London-based art photography club the Brotherhood of the Linked Ring (hereafter Linked Ring), wrote to Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) to critique recent photographs by Edward Steichen (1879–1973). In the note, Hinton remarks, I admire Steichen’s work for myself but it is the admiration one feels for something strange and uncanny—I can’t think that such work is healthy or would in this country have a beneficial influence. Many, nay most, of his things were very well exhibited to his fellow artists in his studio.

So soon as a want is man's invention hastens to it and strongly felt, supply ; we may be sure, therefore, that in the very earliest ages of civilization lights of some kind or other were introduced for the benefit of the mariner.

  • Century British Photography and the Case of Walter Benington by Robert William Crow
    Reputations made and lost: the writing of histories of early twentieth- century British photography and the case of Walter Benington by Robert William Crow A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Technology January 2015 Abstract Walter Benington (1872-1936) was a major British photographer, a member of the Linked Ring and a colleague of international figures such as F H Evans, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen and Alvin Langdon Coburn. He was also a noted portrait photographer whose sitters included Albert Einstein, Dame Ellen Terry, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and many others. He is, however, rarely noted in current histories of photography. Beaumont Newhall’s 1937 exhibition Photography 1839-1937 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York is regarded by many respected critics as one of the foundation-stones of the writing of the history of photography. To establish photography as modern art, Newhall believed it was necessary to create a direct link between the master-works of the earliest photographers and the photographic work of his modernist contemporaries in the USA. He argued that any work which demonstrated intervention by the photographer such as the use of soft-focus lenses was a deviation from the direct path of photographic progress and must therefore be eliminated from the history of photography. A consequence of this was that he rejected much British photography as being “unphotographic” and dangerously irrelevant. Newhall’s writings inspired many other historians and have helped to perpetuate the neglect of an important period of British photography.

  • Della Fotografia “Istantanea” 1839-1865
    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/ ).
