Fine art photography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

History Successful attempts to make fine artphotography can be traced to Victorian era practitioners such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, and Oscar Gustave Rejlander and others. Until the late 1970s several genres predominated; nudes, portraits, natural landscapes (exemplified by Ansel Adams ). Breakthrough 'star' artists in the 1970s and 80s, such as Sally Mann and Robert Mapplethorpe, still relied heavily on such genres, although seeing them with fresh eyes. Others investigated a snapshot aesthetic approach. Throughout the twentieth century, there was a noticeable increase in the size of prints. Small delicate prints in thin frames are now a rarity, and hi-gloss wall-sized prints are common. There is now a tendency to dispense with a frame and glass altogether and instead to print onto blocked canvas. American organizations, such as the Aperture Foundation and the Museum of Modern Art, have done much to keep photography at the forefront of the fine arts. Current trends There is now a trend toward a careful staging and lighting of the picture, rather than hoping to "discover" it ready-made. Photographers such as Cindy Sherman and Gregory Crewdson, among others, are noted for the quality of their staged pictures.

Riverson Fine Art

Riverson Fine Art and Mississippi Delta artist Joe Moorman Joe Moorman is a self-taught artist from the Mississippi Delta. Here is a brief statement by the artist: I think of my art as illustrations or pictures derived from stories as opposed to decorations or elements of interior design. Each work begins as an illumination, an icon, a record of an important experience. This emotional significance gives the art a spark of life, but almost immediately the work takes on a life and character of its own, which must be respected if the art is to be successful. I am most successful when I "listen" to a painting and allow it to follow its own path to completion. Each piece of imaginative art seems to have its own internal logic, and I have observed that imposing the will of the artist or even the nature of the external model usually compromises the art. Beneath each image in the gallery, there is some short text about the painting or mosaic in question. Usually the text is a brief story about growing up in the Delta or some comments about how the work fits into Joe's development as a self-trained artist, sometimes a little of both. Joe plans to arrange the pictures and stories in this website, or later versions, into a larger narrative and publish as an illustrated book.

Montgomery’s History at The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts | Art Knowledge News

Home » » Recent Art News Montgomery’s History at The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts Montgomery, AL – On Tuesday, January 15, 2008 at 10 a. m. , View of Montgomery, a large oil-on-canvas depicting the blooming city of Montgomery during the last half of the 19th century, will be gifted to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts from the Landmarks Foundation, where it has been housed since 1971. The Landmarks Foundation acquired the painting from the Alabama State Chamber of Commerce during the 1971 restoration of the Ordeman House located in Montgomery’s Old Alabama Town. The home has since been converted to a small museum featuring one of the best collections of American decorative arts in the Southeast. Its highlights include 19th century furniture, ceramics, artwork, and textiles. In 1973, the painting traveled to New York to be restored and stabilized under the auspices of noted art conservator, Gustav Berger. The painting is unsigned, thus the actual artist remains unconfirmed, but many art museum curators and researchers have speculated about its creator. View of Montgomery captures the excitement and hustle and bustle of a growing town energized by becoming the capital city of Alabama. Larger than life city figures appear in the foreground along with farmers and animals working in the adjacent fields. Some early landmarks are recognizable in the background of the downtown area.
