Photography 113 - History of Photography

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Victorian Studies The discovery of photography was announced in 1839, almost simultaneously by several inventors. Born of experiments in art and science, the medium combines vision and technology. It possesses a uniquely intimate relation to reality and for this reason has many applications outside the realm of fine art; nevertheless, from its inception photography has been a vehicle for artistic aspirations. This survey of the history of photography from its earliest manifestations to the 1970s considers the medium's applications-asart, science, historical record, and document.
