Book excerpt: With his iconic, minimalist photographs of suburban landscape, Lewis Baltz was at the forefront of a revolutionary shift in the medium of photography. Baltzs work exemplifies the ways in which photography started to loose the bonds of its isolation within its own segregated history and aesthetics and began to take its place among other media. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Baltz became fascinated by the stark, man-made landscape rolling over Californias then still-agrarian terrain. His earliest portfolio, The Tract Houses (1971), and his preliminary forays into a minimal aesthetic, The Prototype Works (1967-1976), illuminate his drive to capture the reality of a sprawling Western ecology gone wild. His best known work from the period, The new Industrial Parks near Irvine, California (1974), was followed by two smaller projects, Maryland (1976) and Nevada (1977). In the following decade Baltz published three major books, Park City (1980), San Quentin Point (1986) and Candlestick Point (1989), exploring these themes.

Download or read book San Quentin written by Bonnie L. Petry and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coming of statehood to California in 1850 forced the authorities to face one immediately pressing issue: what to do with the many convicts who were pouring forth from the local county courtrooms in the wake of the great Gold Rush of 1848-49. Lawlessness was everywhere rampant, and something had to be done immediately. The answer was found in establishing the first state prison at Quentin Point in Marin County, soon to be called San Quentin. Librarians Bonnie Petry and Michael Burgess have here gathered together several key documents dealing with the earliest years of the prison, including James Harold Wilkins' seminal work, "The Evolution of a State Prison," together with a list of early convict names, a bibliography of "San Quentiniana" (publications by the convicts themselves) by Herman K. Spector, and a new annotated bibliography of nonfiction resources about the prison compiled by Ms. Petry. Complete with Introduction and Index.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive book accompanies the first large retrospective exhibition of Lewis Baltz's work following his passing in 2014. Lewis Baltz explores the artist's oeuvre as a complex whole of interrelated series, from his first "Prototypes" and "The Tract Houses" to "Park City," "San Quentin Point," and "Candlestick Point" through to "New Sites of Technology" and "Venezia Marghera," all published by Steidl. The book simultaneously locates Baltz's work in the context of photography and contemporary art since the 1970s, to fully examine his significant influence and legacy. Baltz is one of the most prominent representatives of the New Topographics movement, which was seminal to the development of conceptual photography. His photo series document the impact of industrial civilization on the landscape, focusing on places outside the bounds of canonical reception: urban wastelands, abandoned industrial sites, warehouses. His photographs uncover the correspondences between everyday spatial forms and the more advanced forms found in art. Baltz's strategies reflect a deep knowledge of the history of photography and present the photographer as a teacher of seeing who visualizes the world in reductive, often ironic, gestures. ... photography, which really isn't all that simple, has always been for me the most direct and most automatic and most uninflected way of making a visual notation of something.

Book excerpt: In a 1975 review of the book, The New West, Baltz identifies in Robert Adams' work a unique sensitivity to what he calls the "paradoxical way that documentary photographs interact with our notions of reality." Paradoxical, that is, in the way that documentary photographs simultaneously insist on their own objectivity and lack of author, while also providing a view of the world that is ultimately selective and incomplete, a world that is carefully framed and chosen by the photographer. This thesis analyzes Baltz's own sensitivity to this paradox of the documentary photograph in order to shift the discourse surrounding his work from more conventional understandings of his oeuvre as mere landscape documents, photobooks, or objects. In capturing within his frame the typically unseen warehouses, parking lots, and dumpsites that constitute the California landscape, Baltz gives us instead what he terms "familiar sorts of images [that] are the most profoundly, if subtly, disturbing, those that take as their content lives and circumstances very much like our own, though slightly, irreconcilably, askew." In this respect, I argue that Baltz's photographs use a Heideggerian conception of boredom as a medium to resituate our being in the world. Through an examination of four of his photographic series, The Prototype Works, The New Industrial Parks near Irvine, California, San Quentin Point, and Candlestick Point, I argue that boredom manifests as a medium in Baltz's work in several ways: his use of processing techniques to render his images unrelentingly flat, his presentation techniques that emphasize seriality and repetition, and his overall interest in creating a cinematic effect that lacks a cohesive narrative. I also analyze the distinct version of the Southern California landscape that Baltz frames, and how it differs from myth. Baltz upsets mythical visions by creating a tension between our expectation of what LA looks like, and what the city might actually look like. In this way, I argue that considering boredom as a medium in Baltz's work becomes a mode in which photography can reveal truths about the nature of the world.

Download or read book Werkstatt F r Photographie 1976 1986 written by Florian Ebner and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book on the history, influences and impact of the Werkstatt für Photography (Photography Workshop), founded by the Berlin photographer Michael Schmidt at the Volkshochschule Kreuzberg in 1976. In the midst of the Cold War, the Werkstatt initiated a democratic field of experimentation beyond the pale of traditional vocational and political-institutional standards. Those same years witnessed the establishment of infrastructures in West Germany that paved the way for the emancipation of photography as an art form: Documenta 6 (1977), the first photo galleries and photography journals and a number of pathbreaking exhibitions. Berlin, Hanover and Essen played important roles in that process. This book presents the story of German photography in the 1970s and '80s, its international ties, its protagonists and its networks.
