3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Whitman College
A survey of 19th- and 20th-century photography, emphasizing its relation to aesthetic and cultural practices and values, as well as technical developments that have shaped the nature of the photographic image. We will examine such issues as "pictorialism," "straight" photography, "the documentary mode," and the "snapshot aesthetic" and will consider various strategies of photographic interpretation, especially as these reflect notions of sight and insight, the photograph as window or mirror. By focusing on the history of the medium and some of its most influential practitioners, we will explore how photographers have used images to shape attitudes and values in our culture. Examples may include the work of Matthew Brady, Jacob Riis, Lewis Hine, Gertrude Kasebier, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, Edward Steichen, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Robert Frank, Helen Levitt, Minor White, Diane Arbus, Judy Dater, and others. Papers, class presentations, and exams. Open to all stu
