Book excerpt: ¿Se puede 'creer' en lo que muestra una fotografía? ¿Por qué una fotografía es algo más que el conjunto de su temática? ¿Cómo abordan la historia los fotógrafos? ¿Por qué es la fotografía un arte melancólico? Una obra de referencia para cualquiera que desee saber más acerca de una de las formas artísticas más destacadas del siglo xxi.El analfabeto del futuro será el hombre que no comprenda la fotografía, afirmó László Moholy-Nagy hace ahora unos ochenta años. Y hoy, al hallarnos en el umbral de la mayor revolución tecnológica en fotografía desde la introducción de la cámara instantánea, sus palabras desvelan una extraordinaria cualidad profética. Este libro pretende analizar la esencia de la fotografía, un medio que se emplaza entre el arte y la ciencia, a través de algunos de los principales acontecimientos, personalidades e imágenes que han marcado su desarrollo. Seis capítulos abordan la evolución de la fotografía en su contexto social, pero la obra pretende comprender cómo se logra una gran fotografía. Las cerca de veinte imágenes icónicas seleccionadas para ilustrar cada capítulo se analizan y se explican en ensayos que las ubican en las distintas historias de la disciplina, al tiempo que arrojan luz sobre los temas subyacentes de los que trata el libro.

Book excerpt: An authentic compendium of 1970s' New York style and attitude and a confirmed masterpiece. Idols began with an awestruck Larrain visiting Kansas City in the explosively liberating early years of the gay rights movement and befriending Taylor Meade and John Noble. Once they had been photographed, the rest of the troupe followed suit. The result is a collection of photographs of a generation of New York's most talented, outrageous, glamorous and mostly gay personalities who posed for Larrain in his now legendary Soho studio.

Download or read book Image and Memory written by Wendy Watriss and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FotoFest 1992, a major festival of international photography, brought Latin American photography into focus for a wide audience. Offering a diverse selection of photographers, countries, artistic movements, and subject matter, the show revealed a photographic tradition rich in history and creativity. Drawing from the more than 1,000 images exhibited by FotoFest, this book documents the work of fifty-two photographers from ten countries. The photographs range from the opening of the Brazilian frontier in the 1880s to a secret archive of documentary images from El Salvador's recent civil war to works of specifically aesthetic intent. Many of the photographs appear here in print for the first time. Watriss's opening essay provides the curatorial overview for the book. Lois Zamora examines the roots of visual image-making in Latin American cultures. Boris Kossoy addresses the history of Latin American photography through the nineteenth century, while Fernando Castro covers the contemporary scene. With its compelling images and English-Spanish text, this book will serve as a benchmark for future studies of photography in Latin America.
Download or read book Poder absoluto written by Prieto Mir, Pep and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lo largo de su historia compartida, cine y política han mantenido una relación muy estrecha, que va de la mutua necesidad al juego de espejos. El cine ha documentado la evolución social y política de las distintas sociedades, pero también ha sido utilizado como instrumento de propaganda ideológica. Al mismo tiempo, la política se ha ido contagiando de la narrativa cinematográfica y ha emulado a los héroes de la ficción. Conocer el cine político es entender la diferencia entre denuncia y demagogia, entre posicionamiento y doctrina, y ver, a través de géneros muy dispares, que la política está presente en toda película de ayer y de hoy. En este libro se propone un recorrido por el cine y la política a través de 50 títulos, algunos muy populares y otros urgidos de una reivindicación, que ejemplifican su vínculo. Y los hay que son fundamentalmente políticos aunque no parezcan pertenecer al género.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La urbe global se ha convertido en la imagen ecumenopolizada del mundo, no como urbes gigantescas, sino como una red que penetra la totalidad del territorio y acabando con la dicotomía rural-urbano. Tras el paradigma Geddiano de las ciudades-mundo, ahora la gran cuestión es verificar si esa red sin fronteras trascenderá el sistema nervioso de sus habitantes en una dilución consentida y hasta cataléptica que les acerque a la robótica y al final no exista demasiada diferencia entre ambos.

Book excerpt: Luis Bunuel was one of the true creators of the modern cinema. He made over 30 films, working in France, Republican Spain, the United States (at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and in Hollywood), and Mexico, where he died in 1983. Bunuel's films are both subtle and shocking, as deceptively simple as they are rich in incident and striking in the power of their imagery. Inflected by Surrealism, informed by realism, and mediated by the logic of dreams, Bunuel's cinema is astonishingly singular. This book, originally published in Spanish and French, is now presented in a bilingual Spanish/English edition. Illustrations include documentary photographs as well as over 350 film stills, many in color, from works ranging from his first, shocking Surrealist collaboration with Salvador Dali, Un Chien Andalou (1929), to Belle de Jour (1966), The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977). Including the most thorough chronology, filmography, and bibliography available, this is the ultimate book on Bunuel.
Download or read book De lo humano written by Ute Eskildsen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1977, this book brings together what is known about liberal feminist and socialist movements for the emancipation of women all over the world in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It deals not only with Britain and the United States but also with Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and the Scandinavian countries. The chapters trace the origins, development, and eventual collapse of these movements in relation to the changing social formations and political structures of Europe, America and Australasia in the era of bourgeois liberalism. The first part of the book discusses the origins of feminist movements and advances a model or 'ideal type' description of their development. The second part then takes a number of case studies of individual feminist movements to illustrate the main varieties of organised feminism and the differences from country to country. The third part looks at socialist women's movements and includes a study of the Socialist Women's International. A final part touches on the reason for the eclipse of women's emancipation movements in the half-century following the end of the First World War, before a general conclusion pulls together some of the arguments advanced in earlier chapters and attempts a comparison between these feminist movements of 1840-1920 and the Women's Liberation Movement.
Download or read book Andre Kertesz the Polaroids written by Andre Kertesz and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful collection of the luminous last work by one of the true giants of twentieth-century photography. After the death of his wife, André Kertész consoled himself by taking up a new camera, the Polaroid SX70. As with earlier equipment, he mastered the camera and produced a provocative body of work that both honored his wife and lifted him out of depression. Here Kertész dips into his reserves one last time, tapping new people, ideas, and tools to generate a whole new body of work through which he transforms from a broken man into a youthful artist. Taken in his apartment just north of New York City’s Washington Square, many of these photographs were shot either from his window or in the windowsill. We see a fertile mind at work, combining personal objects into striking still lifes set against cityscape backgrounds, reflected and transformed in glass surfaces. Almost entirely unpublished work, these photographs are a testament to the genius of the photographer’s eye as manifested in the simple Polaroid.
