Andreas Gursky. Rhine II. 1999. Large photographs intended to compete with paintings on the walls of galleries and museums began to become a norm in the 1980s.
One of the challenges that faced the artists who made them was the need to marshal photography’s abundant bits and pieces of descriptive detail into images that could command attention when viewed from a distance. Gursky conquered that challenge with bold geometric patterns that disclose a wealth of complexity as the viewer approaches. Occasionally he achieves the pattern with the help of digital techniques; in Rhine II industrial buildings have been eliminated from the background.

Braquage de banque d'images : la bibliothèque de New York libre de droits - Graphéine. Braquage de banque (d'images) C'est le casse du siècle : la Bibliothèque Publique de New York (NYPL) a mis à disposition des internautes (donc de vous) près de 180 000 images d'archive numérisées.
Un braquage de banque d'images pacifiste à grand coup de scanner, et pour notre plus grand bonheur, à retrouver sur le site de la NYPL. Outre la quantité faramineuse d'images, c'est surtout le fait que celles-ci soient libres de droit, gratuites et téléchargeables en haute définition qui nous rend so excited. On s'y perd un peu, mais le plus simple est de découvrir l'ensemble de la collection NYPD classée par thèmes ou par couleurs. On y trouve entre autres des cartes postales bien kitsch, des plans de villas du 20e siècle, des photographies, des gravures de voyages ou une belle collection de pigeons, des portraits d'esclaves, des collections de dessins de mode ou encore les illustrations de livres de William Blake.
