To prepare the student for ongoing independent
work, this course emphasizes the exploration of visual problems. At the heart of
this exploration is asking good questions of oneself and one’s work, seeing how
other photographers and artists in other media have dealt with such questions,
and "answering" the questions for oneself through individual
projects.
Prerequisite: Photography 201 and 203.

In the decades after World War II photography's social
and artistic roles changed in many ways. The 1950's saw the dominance of
magazine photography in Life and Look, as well as the birth of the hugely
popular exhibition "The Family of Man". But it also witnessed the
birth of a more personal photographic culture, exemplified by Robert Frank's
book The Americans and the founding
of Aperture magazine. In the 1960's
and 1970's such photographers as Garry Winogrand, Diane Arbus and Lee
Friedlander created a new poetry of contemporary life from moments gathered in
streets and homes. The new topographics photographers of the 1970's revived a
cooler, more analytic style, while in the following decade artists such as
Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, Laurie Simmons, Sherrie Levine and others
appropriated mass-media images to create ironic commentaries on consumer
culture. This turbulent period in the history of photography will be the focus
of this intensive seminar. The class will be limited to 12 people, with senior
and junior photography majors given preference in admission. Participants must
have taken PHOT History 110. Students will be required to write several short
papers throughout the course, and to prepare an in-class presentation on the
work of one photographer or a related topic approved by the instructor.

This course will address the many purposes to which
photography is and has been put, outside the realm of art. We will consider the
studio portrait, the postmortem portrait, journalistic photography, scientific
photography, forensic photography, “spirit” and kirlean photography, erotic
photography, advertising photography, fumetti, and the many manifestations of
the snapshot. We will study methods of production and reproduction – the carte
de visite, the postcard, the photomat, the Polaroid – in their social and
historical context. And we will discuss, among other things, how photographs
change their meaning over time, how the human desire for narrative, and how
they insinuate themselves into the unconscious. This course might appeal not
just to photography majors, but also to students of history and of popular
culture.
