Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C'est en 1862 qu'Eugène Disdéri publie cet Essai sur l'art de la photographie. Portraitiste officiel de la famille impériale, il est alors au sommet de sa carrière. Son atelier situé sur le boulevard des Italiens voit défiler tout ce que Paris compte de célébrités du monde des planches et de la sphère mondaine. Le portrait carte-de-visite fait la fortune de Disdéri. Le temps d'une mode, il remplace l'esprit du portrait peint dans le cœur d'une classe de privilégiés. De petite taille, simple et maniable, véritable ancêtre du Photomaton, ce portrait assure encore de nos jours sa renommée dans les ouvrages sur l'histoire de la photographie. Mais le succès commercial de la photographie d'atelier ne suffit pas à Disdéri. Près de cinquante ans après l'apparition du premier daguerréotype, les débats sur la valeur artistique du nouveau procédé sont toujours vivaces. La photographie pose problème à cause de son aspect mécanique. Cette revendication d'une intervention de la main dans le processus de création est à l'origine du débat sur le statut de la photographie. Et dans ce contexte, la référence à la peinture demeure très présente. On se souvient des attaques de Baudelaire sur le public bourgeois et inculte fréquentant les ateliers des photographes. Disdéri, lui, établit des passerelles entre les deux arts et tente de les réconcilier. Véritable précurseur pour la fin de ce siècle, son essai reste fondateur pour l'évolution de la photographie.

Book excerpt: Il est ici question d'ombre et de lumière, de présence et d'absence, de production et de reproduction, de montré et de démontré, de vide et de trop-plein, de distance et de proximité, du temps qui passe et ne passe pas, bref, de la photographie dans tous ses états, dans toutes ses étapes, sans autre unité que d'objet. Le photographe (celui qu'on ne voit pas), l'amateur (celui qui ne montre pas), traversent tour à tour le " légendaire " du commentateur, qui explore les lieux où peut se nouer le sens photographique : la machine, réputée impassible ; l'intention, l'œil, l'index de l'opérateur ; l'image finale ; le regard du spectateur. " C'est donc un amateur qui parle et qui dit... "

Book excerpt: Un essai sur la photographie qui pose l'interdisciplinarité comme nouveau critère d'analyse, dont le thème transversal pose la photographie comme art non mimétique et image de matérialité(s). Cet ouvrage rassemble plusieurs essais, pour la plupart inédits ou non publiés, témoignant d'une recherche entre les arts et les savoirs où la photographie est l'objet d'investigation trans-disciplinaire. Il est articulé selon un axe matériologique et propose une théorie nouvelle de la photographie. Fruit de plus de vingt ans de conversations avec les œuvres, il répond à un manque de théorie en photographie. Il s'inscrit dans une logique scientifique inédite, posant l'indisciplinarité comme nouvel axe épistémologique de la recherche. Cet ouvrage intéressera photographes, étudiants, artistes, enseignants, chercheurs, critiques, responsables d'institutions.

Download or read book Proust Photography and the Time of Life written by Suzanne Guerlac and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an engagement with the philosophies of Proust's contemporaries, Félix Ravaisson, Henri Bergson, and Georg Simmel, Suzanne Guerlac presents an original reading of Remembrance of Things Past (A la recherche du temps perdu). Challenging traditional interpretations, she argues that Proust's magnum opus is not a melancholic text, but one that records the dynamic time of change and the complex vitality of the real. Situating Proust's novel within a modernism of money, and broadening the exploration through references to cultural events and visual technologies (commercial photography, photojournalism, pornography, the regulation of prostitution, the Panama Scandal, and the Dreyfus Affair), this study reveals that Proust's subject is not the esthetic recuperation of loss but rather the adventure of living in time, on both the individual and the social level, at a concrete historical moment.

Download or read book Proust and the Arts written by Christie McDonald and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proust and the Arts brings together expert Proustians and renowned interdisciplinary scholars in a major reconsideration of the novelist's relation to the arts. Going beyond the classic question of the models used by Proust for his fictional artists, the essays collected here explore how he learned from and integrated, in highly personal ways, the work of such creators as Wagner or Carpaccio. This volume reveals the breadth of Proust's engagement with varied art forms from different eras: from "primitive" arts to sound recordings, from medieval sculpture to Art Nouveau glassmaking, and from portrait photography to the private art of doodling. Chapters bring into focus issues of perception and detail in examining how Proust encountered and responded to works of art, and attend to the ways art shaped his complex relationship to identity, sexuality, humor, and the craft of writing.

Download or read book Baudelaire and Photography written by Timothy Raser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Baudelaire's 'Le Peintre de la vie moderne' is often cited as the first expression of our theory of modernism, his choice of Constantin Guys as that painter has caused consternation from the moment of the essay's publication in 1863. Worse still, in his 'Salon de 1859', Baudelaire had also chosen to condemn photography in terms that echo to this day. Why did the excellent critic choose a mere reporter and illustrator as the painter of modern life? How could he have overlooked photography as the painting of modern life? In this study of modernity and photography in Baudelaire's writing, Timothy Raser, who has written on the art criticism of Baudelaire, Proust, Claudel and Sartre, shows how these two aberrations of critical judgment are related, and how they underlie current discussions of both photography and modernism. Timothy Raser is Professor of French at the University of Georgia (USA).

Download or read book Art in the Cinema written by Steven Jacobs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1940s and 1950s, hundreds of art documentaries were produced, many of them being highly personal, poetic, reflexive and experimental films that offer a thrilling cinematic experience. With the exception of Alain Resnais's Van Gogh (1948), Henri-Georges Clouzot's Le Mystère Picasso (1956) and a few others, most of them have received only scant scholarly attention. This book aims to rectify this situation by discussing the most lyrical, experimental and influential post-war art documentaries, connecting them to contemporaneous museological developments and Euro-American cultural and political relationships. With contributors with expertise across art history and film studies, Art in the Cinema draws attention to film projects by André Bazin, Ilya Bolotowsky, Paul Haesaerts, Carlo Ragghianti, John Read, Dudley Shaw Aston, Henri Storck and Willard Van Dyke among others.
