El Hurgador [Arte en la Red]: Aniversarios Fotografía (XLVI) [Diciembre / December 1-7] Textos en inglés al final del post / English translation at the end of this post. El 1 de Diciembre es el cumple de Heinz Hajek-Halke, fotógrafo alemán nacido en 1898, miembro del grupo Fotoform que ejerció gran influencia durante la postguerra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Su fotografía es de corte experimental y próxima al arte abstracto. Durante su infancia vivió en Argentina y en 1910 regresó a Berlín con su familia. En 1915 inició sus estudios en la Real Escuela de Arte de Berlín, pero se vio obligado a interrumpirlos un año después ya que fue reclutado durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. "Sin título / Untitled", 1928-32 Robert Glenn Ketchum, fotógrafo de paisaje y naturaleza nacido en 1947, cuya obra tiene un fuerte mensaje de defensa del medio ambiente. Ketchum asistió a la secundaria en la Escuela Webb de California. En su carrera de 30 años, Ketchum se ha dado a conocer como fotógrafo-ambientalista. "Ártico, Luz Radiante - Puesta de sol en la calma que antecede a la tormenta / JONATHAN CRARY: “TECHNIQUES OF THE OBSERVER”. A Review | Frame 25. Historians of visual culture generally agree that, with the nineteenth century, a new way of seeing and a new kind of observer were born.

The conventional history of photography says that this technology is a part of a linear development tracing back to the Renaissance and camera obscura. We tend to believe that photography and – later – film belong to the continuous and increasingly dominant visual practice – realism. Together with the “modernist rupture” of painterly revolutions, they constitute the modernization of vision at the end of the 19th century – but is it really so? Jonathan Crary does not agree with this interpretation. The book is divided into five chapters.

In the second chapter, Crary argues that the camera obscura stood as a dominant metaphor for human vision in 17th ant 18th centuries. The third chapter begins with Goethe’s account on the nature of colors. The last chapter summarizes the changes in vision in the era of modernity. Like this: Like Loading... ESPECTROS DE LUZ.

Alexander Roinashvili was born in 1846 into a family of farmers in Dusheti, at the foot of the Caucasus, about fifty miles from Tiflis, not far from the Georgian Military Road.

We do not know how he discovered photography, but I imagine him posing, as a teenager, in front of an itinerant photographer like this Persian in Tabriz, represented in this miniature of 1856 – at that time they did not yet photograph the photographers, they painted them. In the early 1860s he came to Tiflis, where he learned photography and painting with Theodor Chlamov. He opened his own studio in 1875, thus becoming the first professional photograph in Georgia, and allowing photography to find its place among the members of the Georgian intelligentsia, who decorated their houses with his photos on monuments of celebrities. Roinashvili was one of the founders of the Society of Amateur Photographers in Tiflis, which gave origin to the Museum of the Antiquities of the Caucasus. Nikoloz Chavchavadze.
