PHOTOGRAPHIC CONTEXT & HISTORY (Ongoing)
Eugène Atget
1857-1927
French
Known of his photographs of Paris streets, architecture, and the occasional person.
Long exposure times create a dreamlike sense of light in his images.
Most of his work was published after his death.
BOKEH
Japanese word for senility or dizziness, and by extension, haze, or blur.
Background blur w/shallow plane of focus (wide aperture)
The shape of Bokeh is determined by the shape of the aperture blades.
Alfred Stieglitz
1864-1946
US
Important figure in promoting photography as a viable art form.
Was a publisher, patron, collector, gallery owner, promoter... of all kinds of art.
Married to the painter Georgia O'Keeffe
"I have always been a great believer in today. Most people live either in the past or in the future, so that they really never live at all. So many people are busy worrying about the future of art or society, they have no time to preserve what is. Utopia is in the moment. Not in some future time, some other place, but in the here and now, or else it is nowhere."
