Photography and the Arts
Photography, both in the form of contemporary practice and that of historical material, now occupies a significant place in the citadels of Western art culture. It has an institutional network of its own, embedded within the broader art world, with its own specialists including academics, critics, curators, collectors, dealers and conservators. All of this cultural activity consolidates an artistic practice and critical discourse of photography that distinguishes what is increasingly termed ‘art photography’ from its commercial, scientific and amateur guises. But this long-awaited recognition of photography as high art brings new challenges. How will photography’s newly privileged place in the art world affect how the history of creative photography is written?
Modernist claims for the medium as having an aesthetic often turned on precedents from painting. Postmodernism challenged a cultural hierarchy organized around painting. 19th century photographs move between the symbolic spaces of the gallery wall and the archive: de-contextualised for art and re-contextualised for history. But what of the contemporary writings, images, and practices that negotiated an aesthetic status for ‘the photographic’?
Photography & the Arts revisits practices both celebrated and elided by the modernist and postmodernist grand narratives of art and photographic history in order to open up new critical spaces. Written by leading scholars in the fields of photography, art and literature, the essays examine the metaphorical as well as the material exchanges between photography and the fine, graphic, reproductive and sculptural arts.
eBook
Pretty babies
Discusses Victorian portrait photography, with particular reference to the work of the London-based French photographer Camille Silvy. The author describes Silvy's works Mrs Holford's Daughter (1860; illus.), Mrs Holford's Daughter (with a woman) (1860; illus.), The Daughter of the Hon. Mrs Charles Lindsay (1861; illus.), and Caroline, Duchess of Montrose (1860; illus.), assessing the provocative nature of the children's poses in the first three images, and the flirtation evident in the latter, within the context of Victorian sexuality and in comparison to photographs taken by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll).
