Early Painted Fakes
Nachdem wir schon mit unserer letzten Bildbetrachtung einen Ausflug in das Gebiet der Malerei mit photographischer Anmutung gemacht haben, werde ich versuchen mal etwas tiefer in das Thema einzusteigen. Ich bin ja kein Kunsthistoriker, aber dadurch auch frei grob vereinfachend über Entwicklungsprozesse im Verhältnis von Malerei und Photographie zu fabulieren. Also, mit (Er)findung der Photographie hat die Malerei eines ihrer wichtigsten Standbeine abtreten müssen, nämlich die […]https://photo-philosophy.net/early-painted-fakes-burda-baden-baden/

The #Skagen artists' colony and its painters are world-famous. Now the #SkagensMuseum has finally discovered a treasure trove of photographs showing the lives of the artists and their photographic originals. This video gives a wonderful insight into this treasure.
It is also exciting to see how they emphasize that it was a mistake to have ignored the documents for so long, as they offer a unique insight into the lives of the artists.
"But for World Press Photo, the official author is now: unknown."

One of the latest films we've put online is "Foto Estudio Luisita" by Sol Miraglia. This film was a real discovery for me, and I absolutely fell in love with it. We asked our journalist Zoé Isle de Beauchaine to interview her and share with us the story behind the film. The interview is freely available here. Have a good read! :)

George Tames - The Loneliest Job (1961). At the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York, in a press photo exhibit. He leaned like this because of his bad back and was only reading a newspaper, but we'd readily believe it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I loved this from Bruce Gilden in an interview playing at his Fotografiska exhibit:
“I’m angry. I’ll always be angry. If I stop being angry, I’ll lose my art. I’ll stop being Bruce Gilden.”
There was another I can only paraphrase: he knows he can't be Cartier-Bresson, but he can be the best possible version of Bruce Gilden. Words to live by.

Governess and nanny shoots over 150k photos in her lifetime, never shows them. Doesn't develop some. She ages in poverty. In 2007, her work is auctioned from a forgotten storage locker. It goes viral on Flickr. Now there are documentaries and books. Dying in 2009, she's never to know she's now seen as one of the great 20th century street photographers. That’s fake, right?

One more for #Caturday. Evelyn Hofer: Cat in a Dublin pub (1966)
I believe the pub is Mulligan's in Dublin. Almost 300 years old and appears in a Joyce short story. There's nothing new to say about the photo. Hofer was a master.

Habe gestern ein paar alte Autochrome-Aufnahmen meines Urgroßvaters auf 9x12 Glasplatten entdeckt und bin noch von der Qualität dieser historischen Farbaufnahmen geplättet. War ein Hobby meines Urgroßvaters. Hier ein Beispiel:

1839 - De Franse staat koopt de patentrechten van Daguerres uitvinding op voordracht van de beroemde natuurkundige D.F.J. Arago en stelt ze ter beschikking van de gehele wereld.
1839 word dan ook algemeen als het jaar van de uitvinding van de fotografie genoemd
Cannot believe I never wrote a proper #introduction. I work on #arthistory and #visualculture of #China. Currently writing a book on the history of #datavisualization in China. Interested in #ColdWar, #contemporaryart, and #photohistory, and working on a few #digitalhumanities projects.
I have been thinking a lot about what the recent call for #degrowth as the only ethical and sustainable way forward would mean for academia. Working toward care-centered knowledge production and dissemination.
