Throughout Photographic History, there have been very different Art Movements, each with its own style and purpose. Through these Movements we find diverse photographic techniques, aesthetics and ideas offered. In this class, we will look at several Art Movements in the history of Photography, the photographers involved in each, and examine the visual style that pervaded each Movement. By studying these Art Movements and the photographers and artists who inspired them we can find a source for our own creativity and ideas for our own photographic work.

  1. A very informative lecture, one which has always been missing in photography world.
    I was thinking of adding Persian subtitle to it but the public contribution is disabled on this video. How can I do it otherwise?

  2. In the stage that you have set, they are just trying sell their products by elevating their selling point. That is not "killing art". Its just that their target customer is a common man. Artists were there when there are brushes, then they embraced pencil as well. I like the seminar, by the way. Thank you

  3. Straight photographer (so call purist), like Ansel Adams, heavily modified their pictures while printing, and Cartier Bresson did sketch some of his pictures, so we could say they were sometimes a like little hypocrite. Still, great masters of photography without a doubt. What I want to say is: don't do things just because some movement say so. Find what actually moves YOU. And use any means to reach your photographic style.

  4. Very interesting lecture. Informative and comprehensive. The guy sitting at the front who insists on practicing photography during the presentation is rather irritating. He should have been told to stop what he was doing.

  5. very comprehensive two century history within the limitations of a two hour time frame. Her discussion of the 19th and early 20th century would best have made mention of the Pre-Raphaelites which strongly influenced several of the photographers she featured. Indeed they attempted to replicate this style of painting in their photography.   But this is not meant as criticism of the task she accomplished.      

  6. Art can also be defined as something visceral, something created for the pleasure of making without concern for reception or critique; a personal practice without concern for others.

    A large number of 'artists' (and many of those are the biggest names in the art world) are in fact craftspeople – they make things in such a way that their objects will be coveted and sell.

  7. Glad you enjoyed the video. This presentation was a one-part affair, but stay tuned for David Brommer's Real Exposures interview with Eileen Rafferty, which will be released within the week.

  8. i have savored n viewed this video over a period of 4 days…..by watching it in bits n parts of arnd 20min everyday…… thank you so much for this one 🙂 i have only another 15min reaming will keep for tmrw !!!

  9. Quite an American point of view. And I would not call the f/64 group modernist. Dada, Constructivism, Abstract Photography and the like are clearly Modernism. But f/64?

    Nevertheless: Thanks for sharing and please keep on educating art!

  10. another very thought provoking presentation- a huge amount of material and I know I will watch this more than once to increase my knowledge and exposure to differing styles. The timeline I found useful as well as contextualizing the movement in time, helped its social-political roots be more apparent to someone such as myself with a very limited art background. Thanks B&H for producing these videos as well as the creation of the Event Space– it’s appreciated!
