Amon Carter celebrates color photography

Art review: Amon Carter celebrates color photography
Dallas Morning News
FORT WORTH — "Photography totally transformed world art when its invention was publicly announced in Paris in 1839. Even then, its inventors and ...

. . . Amon Carter Museum of American Art’s most important project involving photography in more than a decade - Masterminded by John Rohrbach, the museum’s longtime senior curator of photography, “Color: American Photography Transformed” is not an ordinary exhibition. Indeed, it is the result of decades of research and collecting and needs to be seen several times before it can be fully digested. The accompanying book is a weighty tome, which is beautifully designed, well-priced at $75 and easy to read, despite the complexity of the subject. Even the technical essay by conservator Sylvie PĂ©nichon is written for a nonspecialist..." (read more at link above)

Fashion photographer Viviane Sassen

Fashion photographer Viviane Sassen: a different take | Fashion | The Observer: "Like a handful of mavericks before her – Guy Bourdin and Juergen Teller spring to mind – Sassen has reinvented the form by following her instincts. What is striking about her images is that the clothes and the models are mere props for her imagination: a pair of legs stick through holes in a wall; a girl with a bright red face leans over on a pavement as if defying gravity. She uses mirrors, scissors, paint and Photoshop to mess with the viewer's preconceptions about what a fashion photograph is. It is a long way from the glossiness of Vogue, closer to a post-digital photographic surrealism, though Sassen often still shoots on film and applies Photoshop "in the most amateur and unfinished way". She is, she says, "always impatient and eager to finish" and finds the constraints of "all the hair and make-up stuff" too frustrating." (read more at link above)

Tim's Vermeer, art, science

Telluride Film Festival: 'Tim's Vermeer' explores art, science - latimes.com: "Compared with his contemporaries, Vermeer was able to depict the nuanced details of photorealism far better than his painter peers at the time, nearly 200 years before the invention of photography. Some academics and artists — including David Hockney — are convinced Vermeer didn’t just paint by sight. “There is no explanation for the paintings without optics,” the British painter says of Vermeer’s work. Jenison’s idea is mathematically simple: that by using a fixed, dentist-sized mirror that is both reflecting and obscuring a reflection of an image, he can match on a blank slate the exact colors and boundaries of the reflected image."
