Summary:
The Black Arts Movement brought together writers, filmmakers, and visual artists who were exploring ways of using art to advance civil rights and Black self-determination. This book examines the vital role of photography in the evolution of the Black Arts Movement, revealing how photographs operated across art, community building, journalism, and political messaging to contribute to the development of a distinctly Black art and culture. The book’s essays by distinguished scholars focus on topics such as women and the movement, community, activism, and Black photojournalism. Taking an expansive approach, the authors consider the complex connections between American artists and the African diaspora and the dynamic interchange of pan-African ideas that propelled the movement. Authoritative and beautifully illustrated, this is the definitive volume on photography and the Black Arts Movement.

Ce livre présente quinze artistes qui tissent des liens avec des écosystèmes en mouvement. À travers cinq chapitres organisés autour de registres émotionnels, l'autrice met en perspective ces pratiques artistiques contemporaines avec l'histoire du médium photographique. Elle propose une entrée en matière, une invitation au dialogue, une mise en relation sensible et critique des images et de l'écologie. La collection « Superscripte » propose des textes introductifs et synthétiques sur des pratiques photographiques contemporaines dans toutes leur diversité, par le prisme d'une notion unique – l'exposition, la violence ou l'image-objet. En conjuguant des ouvrages écrits par des artistes, des chercheurs et chercheuses ou des critiques, il s'agit de valoriser les subjectivités personnelles et les compétences qui découlent des différentes manières de penser les images. Imaginée pour les photographes, les historien·ne·s de l'art ou un public amateur, cette série souhaite donner les clés pour appréhender certaines thématiques ou formes photographiques, omniprésentes dans la culture visuelle d'aujourd'hui.

Before the invention of photography, civil engineers employed topographic artists to record the progression of their projects. Termed "record pictures," these illustrations followed the tradition of the Dutch topographical landscapes of the 17th century, combining the qualities of detail and clarity with the objectivity of technical drawings.

Summary:
Before the invention of photography, civil engineers employed topographic artists to record the progression of their projects. Termed "record pictures," these illustrations followed the tradition of the Dutch topographical landscapes of the 17th century, combining the qualities of detail and clarity with the objectivity of technical drawings. As such, record pictures had a scientific rather than an artistic purpose, just as most photography did in its infancy. Photography’s prime value was historically regarded as its ability to make highly detailed, objective (and relatively inexpensive) records. Industry was quick to harness the new medium to make record pictures. Significantly, one of the founders of Britain’s Photographic Society was a leading civil engineer. This original application gave rise to a genre of landscape photography that has not been properly recognized. Record Pictures: Photographs from the Archive of the Institution of Civil Engineers represents the photographic jewels of arguably the finest collection in Britain. Spanning a period of 75 years from the mid-19th century, the book contains previously unpublished examples drawn from across Europe, Africa, Australasia, the Far East, and Latin America. Record pictures are the unacknowledged foundation of the history of photography. In his introductory essay, Michael Collins demonstrates how this fundamental approach continues unchanged, only now it is no longer industry that applies these principles but such eminent artists as Bernd & Hilla Becher and Thomas Struth, proponents of contemporary art photography.

By collecting and documenting her passport photographs over some 60 years, the woman in this book demarcated her life in black and white. It is difficult to imagine a more minimalist autobiography, a lifetime compressed into just 75 extremely similar photographs.

Summary:
This book is a comprehensive investigation into photographic works by artists from the African continent and its diaspora. Taking the politics of the “colonial gaze” as its starting point, Events of the Social looks at the diverse complexity of the nineteenth-century archive through a selection of vintage portraits, cartes de visite, postcards and album pages. Three generations of African artists from the 1940s till now then chart the changing features of African societies through portraiture, exploring notions of the self, gender, sexuality, race, social status and politics. The book also examines landscape and the built environment, showing how architecture and spatial planning convey social order and ideology while reflecting experiences of migration, colonialism, war and industrialization. Another group of artists, born after the mid-1970s, explores issues of social identity, lineage, questions of belonging and personal experiences.
