Photographs that changed photography Eugene Atget's Rue de Seine, 1924 Rue de Seine is one of the most reproduced images by the French photographer from his important archive of Paris. His pictures would pave the way for a generation of photographers who took to the streets of Paris in the early Twentieth Century, including Brassai and Cartier-Bresson. William Eggleston's Tricycle, Memphis 1969-71 Like Atget, Eggleston pictured everyday objects and places. However, rather than archives of historic interest, they deliberately set out to monumentalise the banal.

Understanding Installation Art Installation art is difficult to describe. In principal, it means taking a large interior (the exterior can be part of an installation, too) and loading it with disparate items that evoke complex and multiple associations and thoughts, longings, and moods. It's a huge three-dimensional painting, sculpture, poem, and prose work. One of the premier artists working in the medium is the American Ann Hamilton, who was chosen to install a work in the nation's neo-classical pavilion in Venice, which is used every two years for an international art exhibition. Ms. Hamilton called her piece Myein, which comes from the ancient Greek word for mystery and initiation and also refers to an abnormal contraction of the eye's pupil. "It's the eve of the millennium," Hamilton explained. It was truly mystifying, perhaps wonderful, and definitely installational.

A Woman’s Eye: How Imogen Cunningham broke through gender barriers to help redefine modern photography "So many people dislike themselves so thoroughly that they never see any reproduction of themselves that suits. None of us is born with the right face. It's a tough job being a portrait photographer." -- Imogen Cunningham In her long life, Imogen Cunningham was one of America's finest photographers and one of a handful of our great portrait artists. Throughout her long photographic life one thing remained constant: She photographed the world with a woman's eye, from a viewpoint far different than that of the male dominated photographic world of her time and ours. Boy selling newspapers, 1950Photo by Imogen Cunningham, courtesy of the Imogen Cunningham Trust I was lucky to meet Imogen when she had come to Seattle in 1973 for an exhibition of her photographs. Independent and self-reliant Born in Portland, Oregon, on April 12, 1883, Imogen was just 6 years old when her parents moved to Seattle. Imogen purchased her first camera when she was 18 years old.

Dioramas are often built by hobbyists as part of related hobbies such as military vehicle modeling, miniature figure modeling, or aircraft modeling.[citation needed] Etymology[edit] The word "diorama" originated in 1823 as a type of picture-viewing device, from the French in 1822. The word literally means "through that which is seen", from the Greek di- "through" + orama "that which is seen, a sight". Daguerre's diorama consisted of a piece of material painted on both sides. The modern diorama[edit] The current, popular understanding of the term "diorama" denotes a partially three-dimensional, full-size replica or scale model of a landscape typically showing historical events, nature scenes or cityscapes, for purposes of education or entertainment.

The History of Photojournalism and Its Lasting Impact on Society Photojournalist James Nachtway on duty in Rwanda during the genocide of 1994. (Photo: Christian Fei) Using images to communicate the news, photojournalism has shaped the way we view the world since the mid-19th century. What began as war photography has slowly spread to other newsworthy events, including sports, and even long-form storytelling through photo essays. While some say its heyday has long passed with the closure of photo-magazines like LIFE, photojournalists are adapting, using new technology and outlets to continue telling the important stories of contemporary society. War Photography and the Origins of Photojournalism Photojournalism has its roots in war photography, with Roger Fenton pioneering the field during the Crimean War. Illustrating news stories with images was only possible due to advances in technology. During the American Civil War, photographer Mathew Brady captured scenes of camp life and the battlefields for Harper’s Weekly. Photojournalists of the Golden Age

Le portail de la tapisserie contemporaine La Biennale Internationale de la Tapisserie de Lausanne (1962-1995). Pierre Pauli (1916-1970) est, avec Jean Lurçat, à l'origine de la Biennale Internationale de la Tapisserie de Lausanne. Le mouvement des peintres cartonniers s'essoufle. Lurçat constatant l'incapacité d'Aubusson à sortir de ses traditions saisit l'opportunité pour déplacer la capitale de la Tapisserie vers la Suisse. Cette manifestation d'envergure était organisée dans le Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts, d'une durée de trois mois. En 1962, lors de la première biennale, les tapisseries sont exclusivement murales, soit de haute lice, soit de basse lice. Lors de la deuxième biennale, les oeuvres sont plus abstraites. A partir de 1967, la tapisserie quitte le mur et devient architecture, sculpture en 3 dimensions. Les années 1971-1979 marquent une évolution vers la recherche: La neuvième biennale se propose de faire le point sur l'évolution de l'art textile dans l'ensemble de ses manifestations, de ses destinations .
