While photography's capacity for naturalistic reproduction threatened one traditional function of painting, the camera's artificial eye could offer new models for looking at the world. In the work of pioneering photographers such as Gustave Le Gray, Eug ne Cuvelier, Nadar, Atget and Andr -Adolphe-Eug ne Disd ri, impressionist artists such as Manet, Corot, Monet, Pissarro and Degas found new ways of seeing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe key position that photography now occupies in contemporary art has encouraged a renewed interest in photography's historical relationship to the other visual arts. \u003ci\u003eThe Impressionists and Photography\u003c\/i\u003e pursues this line of research. Luxuriously produced and lavishly illustrated, this volume reexamines the lively debate that photography's emergence generated among critics and artists, and offers a critical reflection on the affinities and mutual influences between photography and painting in France in the second half of the 19th century.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 11 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 11, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769311887648,"sku":"9788417173340","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f6a17fa705f89ac32f1d38be91238c9a.webp?v=1780345693","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-impressionists-and-photography-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
