PhotoAbstract art origins andevolution

Since its discovery in 1839, photography has been used in the documentary field, producing images based on the codes of representation of human vision (verismo). However, at the beginning of the 20th century, many photographers tried to overcome this vision of photography by experimenting and developing what we can call PhotoAbstract art. The origins of abstract photography often converge with that of modernismo in the late XIX and early XX centuries, in chronological order as well as intellectually. The first abstract paintings emerged around 1910 by artists such as Vasilij Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich and others; Historians have observed that almost at the same time photographers began their experimentation in this sense. Already the beginning of photography, from the "photogenic drawings" of William Henry Fox Talbot in 1830 to the studies of motion by Thomas Eakins and Étienne-Jules Marey (chronophotography) in 1880, presents images that could be classified as abstract, even if they were thought for scientific and technical rather than aesthetic purposes. The first forms of abstract photography appear in America in 1910 with Paul Stand, with the photos entitled "Porch Shadows" and "The Bowls", photos in which he plays with shapes and lights using close-up shots. The trend towards abstraction became established throughout the XX century, namely, the coexistence of two parallel visions between American and European modernist photographers. These views included the concept of "Direct Photography" (straight photography) launched by American photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Aaron Siskind, and others; and on the other, the concept of aesthetic experimentation directly derived from the European avant-garde of Laszlo ’Moholy-Nagy. The objective of Straight Photography was to grasp the reality made up of everyday objects that usually escape the human eye, without any manipulation and emphasizing purely photographic processes such as framing, lighting, focus and point of view, images resulting exploited pure formalism, geometry and design. Even more experimental or aesthetically radical than the previous artists was another line of abstractionists that they considered as an ideal means of plastic expression to build and create new visual codes. This is the Photogram(in this case we mean a photographic image in a darkroom by impressing an image on a sheet of sensitive paper or a negative, without using a camera. With the name of Rayogramm or "Rayography", from the name of photographer ManRay, who rediscovered in the 20s of the 900s, or as Shadography), the manipulation of light, movement and chemistry, the photographs of the took on a series of recurring characteristics that went to associate them with modernist abstraction. The artist creates a style of film and film, thus ignoring the mechanical or technical apparatus in favor of fantasy and surrealism. At the origins of numerous abstract manipulations, the photogram technique was used by Christian Schad as early as 1918, Man Ray in 1921, and Moholy-Nagy in 1922. In 1940 Barbara Morgan became the first to use the technique that today we call light painting, which she used to draw her calligraphic arabesques.

FotoAstrattismo origini edevoluzione

Fin dalla sua scoperta nel 1839, la fotografia è stata utilizzata in ambito documentaristico, producendo immagini sulla base dei codici di rappresentazione della visione umana (verismo). Tuttavia, agli inizi del XX secolo, molti fotografi hanno cercato di superare questa visione della fotografia sperimentando e sviluppando quello che possiamo chiamare FotoAstrattismo.

Le origini della fotografia astratta, spesso converge con quella del modernismo alla fine del XIX secolo e all’inizio del XX, in ordine cronologico così come intellettualmente. I primi quadri astratti sono emersi intorno al 1910 ad opera di artisti come Vasilij Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich e altri; Gli storici hanno osservato che quasi allo stesso tempo i fotografi iniziarono la loro sperimentazione in questo senso. Già l’inizio della fotografia, dai “disegni fotogenici” di William Henry Fox Talbot nel 1830 agli studi del moto di Thomas Eakins ed Étienne-Jules Marey (cronofotografia) nel 1880, presenta immagini che potrebbero essere classificate come astratte, anche se erano pensate per scopi scientifici e tecnici più che estetici.

Le prime forme di fotografia astratta si manifestano in America nel 1910 con Paul Stand, con le foto intitolate “Porch Shadows” e “The Bowls”, foto in cui gioca con le forme e le luci usando inquadrature ravvicinate.

Il mio interesse per la fotografia è iniziato con la mia dedizione alle arti grafiche e alla rilegatura e al restauro di libri. Da qui il mio amore per la perfezione e la bellezza. Design e fotografia vanno di pari passo con le arti grafiche. Fu così che a poco a poco stavo entrando in quell' affascinante modo di salvare immagini e momenti per il futuro. Questo fa parte del fascino della fotografia , Ricordi, Conoscenza.

Anche se ho fatto diversi eventi come matrimoni e altre ricorrenze , Preferisco la natura , la foto di strada , la panoramica . Le mie immagini , ( ne ho decine di migliaia) le ho postate solo sulla mia bacheca di Facebook, Altre sulla carta che ho preparato per una mostra imminente per scopi di assistenza sociale. ammiro fotografi come Henri Cartier-Bresson per i suoi documentari e le scene di strada. Ansel Adams , impressionante bianco e nero. E una donna Annie Leibovitz.

My photography interest began with my dedication to graphic arts and book binding and restoration. Hence my love for perfection and beauty. Design and photography go hand in hand with the graphic arts. So it was that little by little I was entering that fascinating way of saving images and moments for the future. This is part of the charm of photography, memories, knowledge. Although I did several events like weddings and other celebrations, I prefer nature ,the street photo, the landscape ... My images, (I have tens of thousands) I posted only on my Facebook profile , Others on the paper I prepared for an upcoming exhibition for social assistance purposes. I admire photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson for his documentaries and street scenes. Ansel Adams, impressive black and white. And a woman Annie Leibovitz.

Urban Relics

Even as a young boy I was already fascinated with all things abandoned. In the woods near to where I grew up there were several abandoned cars and a few abandoned houses and chalets. It was my favorite playground. Growing up I lost track of this fascination, why?… well, in life happen. About twenty years ago, when I moved back from the city where I lived for some years after my studies to the village where I grew up, I revisited this forgotten fascination and went “exploring” several times, but even then I had never heard of the term “urban exploring”. About five years ago I took up an evening class in photography.

Già da ragazzo ero affascinato da tutte le cose abbandonate. Nei boschi vicino a dove sono cresciuto c'erano diverse macchine ,alcune case e chalet abbandonati. Era il mio parco giochi preferito. Crescendo ho perso la cognizione di questo fascino, perché? ... beh, nella vita succede. Circa vent'anni fa, quando sono tornato nel villaggio in cui sono cresciuto dalla città dove ho vissuto per alcuni anni per i miei studi , ho rivisitato questo fascino dimenticato e sono andato "ad esplorare" diverse volte, ma anche allora non avevo mai sentito parlare del termine "esplorazione urbana". Circa cinque anni fa ho preso una lezione serale di fotografia.

is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, for its extraordinary artistic and architectural heritage ... but not only that !

Romantic, engaging, picturesque. And even a little melancholy, just enough to give it more charm. The adjectives to define Venice are never enough, and any description, even the most exhaustive, would not be able, through words, to render them full justice. Because Venice must be visited, it must be "felt" in the first person, and contemplated in its infinite beauty, a beauty almost "far from time". Concentration of populations, Venice is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, for its extraordinary artistic and architectural heritage, and it is no coincidence that it welcomes millions of tourists each year, both Italian and foreign. Sung and celebrated by poets, the city of the Doges is surrounded by an almost magical aura, which can be felt in the streets, canals, bridges, in every corner, everywhere. A unique atmosphere that makes Venice a must-see destination. Quite arduous, and at times “embarrassing” to choose what to dedicate oneself, surely you cannot miss San Marco Square the heart of Venice, with the large square on which the Basilica overlooks, which is perhaps the most impressed image. And then the Ducal Palace, the Grand Canal, the Clock Tower. Without forgetting the bridges of the city, among which the best known are that of the Sospiri and that of Rialto, and the churches and museums. Venice is a little jewel , a "dream" that everyone should live at least once in their life.

But Venice is not only this ... it is also Events, shows, historical events that make it the beating heart of this city, like the Regatta of the Ancient Maritime Republics (or Palio of the Ancient Maritime Republics is a re-enactment sporting event historical, established in 1955 with the aim of recalling the exploits and rivalry of the most famous Italian maritime republics: those of Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa and Venice, during which four rowing teams representing each of the republics: this event, held under the high patronage of the President of the Italian Republic, takes place every year on a day between the end of May and the beginning of July, and is hosted in rotation between the aforementioned cities. regatta is preceded by a historical procession, during which parade through the streets of the organizing city some figurants who wear the clothes of ancient characters that characterized cias cuna republic. The historical procession is the central moment of the whole event. Through it every Marine Republic fully relives its glorious past, offering episodes and characters that marked its history. The procession occasionally marched abroad, particularly in Berlin and New York. The Venetian procession presents as a central episode the donation of the island of Cyprus to Venice, which took place in 1489 thanks to Caterina Cornaro noblewoman of the city and Cypriot queen, who ceded the lordship of the island to the Serenissima. In the procession the highest offices of the Venetian republic are present: the doge, the senators, the ambassadors and the captain da mar (head of the fleet). In addition, the "banner of San Marco" is shown, given to Venice in 1171 to thank the city, which acted as mediator between the Papacy, the Empire and the Municipalities. The layout of the procession is as follows. 3 banners; 4 nobles; 4 drums; 6 trumpeters; 8 banners; 10 senators; 1 horn holder; the doge and the umbrella stand; 2 pages; 1 stick-holder; 4 Eastern ambassadors; 8 ladies; the queen of Cyprus; the Cypriot delegation (6 people); the captain from mar; 8 armed.
