  • Photography 247: Art History 247 Photography 1950-Present:From "Human Documents" to theImage World

    4.00 Credits
    Bard College

    Human Rights, STS In the decades afterWorldWar II, the social and artistic roles of photography changed in many ways. The 1950s saw the dominance of magazine photography in Life and Look and witnessed the birth of a more personal photographic culture, exemplified by Robert Frank's The Americans. In the 1960s and 1970s, photographers such as Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, and Garry Winogrand created a new poetry of contemporary life from moments gathered on streets and in homes. The following decade saw artists such as Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Laurie Simmons appropriate mass-media images to create ironic commentaries on consumer culture. This turbulent period in photography is the focus of this seminar. Prerequisite: Photography 113.
