    ART 114 - 500 History of Photography

    Instructor: Victoria Pendzick

    Video/Reading Home Work Week 5


    (Add more space if needed, or make a new document and please include name and class.)

    Please answer questions below from my lectures:

    1. In my presentation “The Beginning of the 20th Century: Technological Advancements” who were the
    New York Photo-Secession Artists and whose work did you appreciate the most and why?
     Alfred Stieglitz
     Edward Steichen
     Gertrude Kasebier
     Alvin Coburn
     Clarence White

    The work that I appreciated the most was “The thinker” by Edward Steichen. It caught my attention because the
    technique used to make it was Platinum print, a technique that obtains monochrome copies by contact with
    materials sensitized with platinum and iron salts, after developing with oxalate. It is a technique that has always
    attracted my attention due to its complexity. Now, with respect to the work as such, it represents the French
    sculptor Auguste Rodin in front of the recently carved white marble of the "Monument to Victor Hugo", in front
    of the bronze of "The Thinker". Steichen first printed each image separately and, having mastered the
    difficulties of combining the two negatives, later joined them into a single image, printing the negative showing
    Rodin upside down. Through this work it is possible to demonstrate Steichen's control of the gum dichromate
    process and the pictorial effects that it fostered.

    2. In my presentation “The Beginning of the 20th Century: Technological Advancements” I showed you
    two Kodak Advertisements, who were they marketed to?
    In the two advertisements presented, the Brownies Cameras are shown on the left, which were simple and cheap
    cameras marketed for those people who did not have much experience in photography, for tourists, trips and
    vacations. The ad said that they could be marketed even for children, because they were small and very easy to
    handle.

    3. In my presentation “Modernism and Avant-Garde Photography” Who were the two photographers who
    photographed expeditions to the South Pole and what did they accomplish?

    • Herbert Ponting, was the first man to accompany an expedition to the South Pole. He managed to take pictures
    in sub-zero conditions. He had complications because the chemicals used for the photographs froze. He
    achieved a complete record of what he experienced on the expedition
    •Frank Hurley. I achieve images of sharks, boats, captains. The ship in which he was traveling was trapped in
    the ice for 20 months, which is why he managed a large number of photographs of that expedition.

    4. In my presentation “Modernism and Avant-Garde Photography” What did Christian Schad and Man Ray
    name each of their photograms?

    Cristian Shad called his stills "schadographs" they combine in a playful way the use of everyday and
    ordinary objects and an abstract artistic reality

    Man Ray called his stills “Rayographs”.
