Book The Experimental Darkroom

Download or read book The Experimental Darkroom written by Christina Z Anderson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Experimental Darkroom is a book focused on traditional black & white photographic materials—darkroom chemistry and silver gelatin paper—now used in many non-traditional ways. The book starts with a comprehensive digital negatives chapter. Topics are divided into five sections: cameraless experimentation, camera experimentation, printing experimentation, finished print experimentation, and a section highlighting contemporary photographers who use these approaches today. Each process under discussion is accompanied by photographic examples and a step-by-step method written in a “Just the facts, ma’am” style. Topics included are: Photograms and clichés verre Lumen prints Chemigrams Pinhole and zoneplate Holgas Chromo Liquid emulsion and modern tintype Lith printing Sabattier Mordançage Bleaching and bleachout Toning, traditional to experimental Applied color and abrasion tone Encaustic, photomontage, and collage Bromoil The Experimental Darkroom encourages taking risks and having fun. Over 400 images and 71 artists are included in its 276 pages. The outcome will be an expansion of creative options for the silver gelatin print. The options are engaging and now more accessible with digital negatives. Images are no longer solely captured in camera or on analog film. The darkroom is no longer always dark. The print is no longer a pristine and accurate rendition of what the camera sees. Photographers are pushing the boundaries of black & white photographic practice. It is an exciting time to get into the darkroom and play!

Book The Private Collection of Edgar Degas

Download or read book The Private Collection of Edgar Degas written by Julie A. Steiner and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 1997 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The art collection assembled by Edgar Degas was remarkable not only for its quality, size, and depth but also for its revelation of Degas's artistic affinities. He acquired great numbers of works by the nineteenth-century French masters Ingres, Delacroix, and Daumier; he bought (or bartered his own pictures for) art by many of his contemporaries, particularly Manet, Cezanne, Gauguin, and Cassatt; and he acquired works by a wide range of other artists, from eminent to little known. The extent of Degas's holdings was not recognized until after his death, when the collection came up for auction in Paris in 1918 and, in what was called the sale of the century, was widely dispersed." "Extensive research has made it possible to "reassemble" that collection in book form. This summary catalogue contains information on the more than five thousand works owned by Degas. For each work catalogued the entry includes, to the extent possible: a description with medium and dimensions; provenance information about Degas's acquisition and ownership of the work; information pertaining to the sale of the work in 1918 (or its disposal earlier), including the purchaser, purchase price, and other data; the current location; selected references; and an illustration. In a concordance, collection sale lot numbers are listed with their corresponding summary catalogue numbers." "This catalogue and its companion volume of essays are published in conjunction with the exhibition "The Private Collection of Edgar Degas," held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from October 1, 1997, to January 11, 1998."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book For This Purpose written by Louise Guillebeau Wade and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devil is the lurking evil at the helm of 9/11, Columbine, the Las Vegas massacre, hurricanes, poverty, famines, wars, and atrocities—yet his deepest wile is to persuade us that he does not exist. God not only ensures us that the devil does exist; he also sent his Son, Jesus Christ, conqueror and unconquerable, to destroy the works of the devil. In For This Purpose, author Louise Guillebeau Wade shares a riveting memoir that divulges the absolute truth that the devil is real and comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Louise offers invaluable insight into Jesus Christ’s superiority over Satan, and this insight can break the chains in your life as you witness Louise’s captivating, awe-inspiring triumphs in the face of evil. Jesus can make the blind see, the deaf hear, and the lame walk, and he can bring sanity and heal any and all diseases. He can raise the dead, and angels await his command and demons tremble at his name. With an overcoming faith and being able to face pain, you can find freedom when you become secure in Jesus Christ. You too can be more than a conqueror. So take off your shoes when you stand on this holy ground, for Father God is about to speak: “I have overcome the world. I have conquered Satan’s system. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh—is there anything too hard for me?”

Book Contemporary Photography in France

Download or read book Contemporary Photography in France written by Olga Smith and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling publication traces the broad arc of photography’s development in France from the 1970s to the present day. A decade-by-decade account reveals unexpected points of convergence between practices that are not usually considered in a comparative perspective. These include photographic practices in contemporary art, documentary, photojournalism, and fashion. Author Olga Smith sets these practices in dialogue with French philosophy – the writings of Roland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard, and Jacques Rancière – to produce an innovative study of the intersections between the photographic image, text, practice, and theory. This analysis is guided by an understanding of photography as deeply engaged with historical, cultural, and intellectual events that defined French national experience in the contemporary period. Landscape provides a particular focus to study issues of key significance, including national identification, colonial past, legacies of modernization and environmental breakdown.

Book Chris Marker

  • Author : Nora M. Alter
  • Publisher : University of Illinois Press
  • Release : 2023-08-31
  • ISBN : 0252055403
  • Pages : 230 pages

Download or read book Chris Marker written by Nora M. Alter and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maverick filmmaker's personal and political relationships with film Best known in the United States for his visionary short film La Jetée, Chris Marker spearheaded the bourgeoning Nouvelle Vague scene in the late 1950s. His distinctive style and use of still images place him among the postwar era's most influential European filmmakers. His fearless political cinema, meanwhile, provided a bold model for other activist filmmakers. Nora M. Alter investigates the core themes and motivations behind an unpredictable and transnational career that defies easy classification. A photographer, multimedia artist, writer, broadcaster, producer, and organizer, Marker cultivated an artistic dynamism and always-changing identity. ""I am an essayist,"" Marker once said, and his 1953 debut filmic essay The Statues Also Die (with Alain Resnais) exposed the European art market's complicity in atrocities in the former Belgian Congo. Ranging geographically as well as artistically, Marker's travels led to films like the classic Sans Soleil and Sunday in Peking. His decades-long struggle against global injustice involved him with Night and Fog, Le Joli Mai, Far from Vietnam, Le fond du l'air est Rouge, and Prime Time in the Camps. Insightful and revealing, Chris Marker includes interviews with the notoriously private director.
