Michael Hoppen Gallery's press release
Part of the fascination with all photography is that the medium is firmly grounded in the documentary tradition. It has been used as a record of crime scenes, zoological specimens, lunar and space exploration, phrenology, fashion and importantly, art and science. It has been used as ‘proof’ of simple things such as family holidays and equally of atrocities taking place on the global stage. Any contemporary artist using photography has to accept the evidential language embedded in the medium.
In this exhibition the Michael Hoppen Gallery exhibits a myriad of different images including 19th, 20th c. and contemporary works of art. Seemingly disparate these images have a shared gravitas, a weightiness that emanates from their documentary function. Many ...
Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art's press release
Collecting is a curious vice, it changes your whole life—your whole way of looking at the world. – Samuel J. Wagstaff Jr. 1978
Hartford, Conn.

Paul Getty Museum,” Sept. 10 through Dec. 11. The exhibition offers a selection of nearly 100 photographs from the personal collection of Samuel J.

This is not a finite list of terms, but the idea is there are a multitude of ways to make a photograph, and some not conceived yet. The camera may or may not be used; the principle is mainly creative use of light.
Use of these methods started in 1826, when the first permanent photograph was invented by Nicéphore Niépce.

Photography has illuminated so many areas of the 20th century, but none more so than the remarkable work by one of photography’s true pioneers, Dr. Harold Edgerton. As an Institute Professor at MIT, and the inventor of the ‘strobe’ flash in the early 1930’s, the ‘Doc.’ as he was affectionately known, stopped time in its tracks. For the first time we were able to see the wonderful arc of the tennis racket or a bullet breaking a sheet of glass.
A scientist first and foremost he was pivotal in developing early aerial and oceanic reconnaissance. During WWII he pioneered the use of a strobe light powerful enough to take night time reconnaissance images. The resulting images revealed an absence of German forces at key strategic points just prior to the Allied attack on June 6, 1944. H...
Feroz Galerie is delighted to present an exhibition of photographic work by the American scientist and photographer Dr. Harold Edgerton (1903-1990). An early pioneer in stroboscopic photography, Edgerton’s technological developments have extended our vision and revolutionized the medium. We have many varied examples of his work including multiflash and stroboscopic pictures from his experiments capturing motion sequences onto a single piece of film. Also on show are nighttime aerial reconnaissance photographs, atomic bomb explosions and cameraless shadow photographs of bullets captured in their trajectory.
« In many ways, unexpected results are what have most inspired my photography », Dr. Harold Edgerton.

Alors que notre regard est submergé quotidiennement par une iconographie abondante, nous oublions l'essence même de ces images à voir. La photographie est affichée dans la rue, orne et illustre notre presse, alimente jusqu'à l'encombrement, notre visuel technologique. Elle est si présente qu'elle arrive à brouiller les pistes comme une élégante lady qui parvient à dissimuler son âge.
L'image n'est pas dur au hasard ni à l'appareil photographique, elle est l'eouvre d'un auteur, d'un créateur de mondes, d'un poète ou d'un inventeur.
La première image est obtenue le 5 mai 1816 par Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, il n'arrive pas à transformer ses n...
« It is another nature which speaks to the camera rather than to the eye » Walter Benjamin, Little History of Photography (1931)
Abstract photography challenges our popular view of photography as an objective image of reality by reasserting its constructed nature. In Walter Benjamin’s essay on the history of photography, the philosopher and critical theorist articulates photography’s « second nature » as its inherent ability to detach and abstract the visible from the real. Non-representational photography lives in this contested middle ground between material reality and photographic illusion—fact and fiction—first and second natures. Today, anyone who has a cell phone can take and send digital pictures instantaneously. In response to this snapshot culture, many art...
How do you describe colour?
Even the dictionary definition of it is poetic:
'That aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of the light reflected or emitted by them, definable interms of the observer or of the light.'
And;
'a substance, such as a dye, pigment, or paint, that imparts a hue.'
And;
'a reddening of the face; a blush'.
The scientific words to objectify it are beautiful too: hyperchromatism, wavelength, luminance, iridescence and purity.
Since 1861 and the first permanent colour print by James Clerk Maxwell, photographers have been able to define their subjects in a more immediate and creative way using colour- stripping it out, intensifying or limiting it. The Michael Hoppen Contemporary Christmas show about a group of artists who utilize cyan, magenta, yellow and black i...
