Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography is the first comprehensive encyclopedia of world photography up to the beginning of the twentieth century. It sets out to be the standard, definitive reference work on the subject for years to come. Its coverage is global – an important ‘first’ in that authorities from all over the world have contributed their expertise and scholarship towards making this a truly comprehensive publication. The Encyclopedia presents new and ground-breaking research alongside accounts of the major established figures in the nineteenth century arena. Coverage includes all the key people, processes, equipment, movements, styles, debates and groupings which helped photography develop from being ‘a solution in search of a problem’ when first invented, to the essential communication tool, creative medium, and recorder of everyday life which it had become by the dawn of the twentieth century. The sheer breadth of coverage in the 1200 essays makes the Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography an essential reference source for academics, students, researchers and libraries worldwide.

Download or read book Polynesia written by Adrienne L. Kaeppler and published by Mauna Kea Galleries. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4e de couv.: Considered one of the most significant and comprehensive assemblages of Polynesian works, the Blackburn Collection of Polynesian Art contains objects from nearly every area of Polynesia from Hawaii to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) to Aotearoa (New Zealand), and the many islands in between. The traditional forms are both ceremonial and functional from delicate ivory ornaments and finely textured barkcloth to formidable weaponry and imposing sculpture in coral, wood, and stone. Adrienne L. Kaeppler sets the Blackburn Collection of Polynesian Art the larger context of Polynesian cultural and artistic traditions in her illustrated introduction and suite of essays featuring significant objects from the collection. Selected paintings, drawings, engravings, photographs, documents, and medals related to Polynesia provide additional cultural and historical context. Following the essay is a fully illustrated catalog of the collection organized by island area. In Polynesia, the visual arts and associated objects serve as physical representations of the underlying aesthetic, social, and religious aspects of island cultures. In some cases, the eloquent objects here may be all that remain of once-vibrant traditions.

Download or read book Create and Be Recognized written by John Turner and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2004-09-09 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create and Be Recognized is the first survey of a compelling, always surprising art form -- outsider photography. Presented here is the work of seventeen largely self-taught artists who have used photography or photographic elements in their creations, including such luminaries as Adolf Wolfli, Howard Finster, and Henry Darger, as well as discoveries from little known, equally dramatic artists. As with most outsider art, the work here is fuelled by singular passions, marginalized mindsets, and extreme circumstances, falling outside mainstream picture-making. Employing collage (affixing photos or reproductions to a background), photocollage (photographs cut and pasted together to form a new whole), and tableaux (works based on manipulation and staging), the artists here present work that is, by turns, lyrical and frightening, and always fascinating. Published to coincide with a major touring exhibition of the same name originating at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Create and Be Recognized documents an emerging and important facet of contemporary photography.
