Internally a bright, clean copy. Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre (1787-1851) was a true nineteenth-century visionary--a painter, printmaker, set designer, entrepreneur, inventor, and pioneer of photography. Though he was widely celebrated beyond his own lifetime for his invention of the daguerreotype, it was his origins as a theatrical designer and purveyor of visual entertainment that paved the way for Daguerre's emergence as one of the world's most iconic imagemakers. In Speculating Daguerre, Stephen C. Pinson reinterprets the story of the man and his time, painting a vivid picture of Daguerre as an innovative artist and savvy impresario whose eventual fame as a photographer eclipsed everything that had come before. Drawing upon previously unpublished correspondence and unplumbed archival sources, Pinson mixes biography with an incisive study of Daguerre's wide-ranging involvement in visual culture. From his work as a commercial lithographer to his coinvention of the Paris Diorama--a theater in the round in which Daguerre employed natural light and special effects to simulate time and movement in large-scale paintings--here we are given access to Daguerre the artist, whose tireless experimentation, entrepreneurial spirit, and exceptional talent for popular spectacle helped to usher in a new visual age. Filled with more than one hundred illustrations and including the first complete catalogue of Daguerre's paintings, works on paper, and daguerreotypes to appear in print, the publication of Speculating Daguerre will be a much-heralded event for anyone with even a passing interest in one of the most fascinating characters in the history of photography.

La première étude approfondie des rayographies révolutionnaires de Man Ray dans les années 1920 et de leurs interconnexions avec ses oeuvres dada et surréalistes. Man Ray (1890-1976) a travaillé sur différents supports, mais le rayographe, un type de photogramme (ou photographie sans appareil photo) qu'il a révolutionné et introduit dansle milieu dada et surréaliste du Paris des années 1920, est au coeur de sa pratique. Oscillant entre la représentation et l'abstraction, la peinture et la photographie, le rayogramme était ambigu dans sa réalisation et son sujet, incarnant les préoccupations de l'avant-garde de l'époque. Ce livre richement illustré est le premier à aborder l'oeuvre de Man Ray sous l'angle de son procédé éponyme, en traçant une ligne de démarcation entre les rayographes et ses peintures, photographies, dessins, objets et films, et en mettant en évidence les interconnexions et les motifs partagés entre eux. Stephanie D'Alessandro et Stephen C. Pinson analysent les méthodes innovantes de Man Ray tout en explorant les thèmes clés de sa production artistique, tels que le hasard, l'indétermination, la transformation et les dualités du solide et du transparent, de l'ombre et de la lumière, de la forme et de l'espace, de l'objet et du corps.

New York, New Haven ; London: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, distributed by Yale University Press, 2019, stated First Printing, xi, 237pp., . Girault de Prangey, 1804-1892 - Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York from January 30 to May 12, 2019. - In 1842, the pioneering French photographer Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey (1804-1892) set out eastward across the Mediterranean with a custom-built camera to explore ancient lands that were largely unknown to the Western world. This book is the first to fully consider the hundreds of daguerreotypes that resulted from his three-year journey, many of which were made using innovative techniques that fascinate photographers to this day. The images, including the first-known photographic documentation of significant locations, offer tangible evidence of historic sites, many of which have since been destroyed, in places such as Greece, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Syria, and Jerusalem. They are remarkable and unparalleled portraits of a world gone by. Copiously illustrated and featuring a geographic glossary of the sites and images, Monumental Journey sheds new light on the arc of Girault's career, the vibrant orientalist milieu of 19th-century France that shaped his work, and his inventive contributions to the nascent field of photography. It introduces modern audiences to a brilliant yet enigmatic talent, as well as the stunning images, many published here for the time, that make a major contribution to the histories of both photography and eastern Mediterranean. - CONTENTS: The odyssey of an artist and his work / Sylvie Aubenas -- Splendor in the dust / Stephen C.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 320 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The first in-depth study of Man Ray’s groundbreaking rayographs of the 1920s and their interconnections with his Dada and Surrealist works   This is the first in-depth study of the rayograph (or camera-less photograph) pioneered by Man Ray (1890–1976) in 1920s Paris, between the Dada and Surrealist movements. The transformative, magical qualities of these experiments led the poet Tristan Tzara to describe them as capturing moments “when objects dream.” Oscillating between representation and abstraction, the rayograph was ambiguous in its making and subject matter, encapsulating avant-garde concerns of the day. This book highlights connections and shared motifs between the rayographs and Man Ray’s paintings, photographs, drawings, objects, and films. Stephanie D’Alessandro and Stephen C. Pinson analyze the artist’s innovative methods while also exploring key themes across a broad range of his art production, such as chance, indeterminacy, transformation, and preoccupation with dualities.   Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press  Exhibition Schedule:  The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (September 14, 2025–February 1, 2026).
