PHOT 213   Photography and the

Human Condition

Laurie Dahlberg

AART

Cross-listed: Art History; Human Rights  Photographers have traditionally sought to depict the nature of the human experience while working as historians, journalists, social crusaders, and artists, and this tradition continues even today by photographers such as Sebastiao Salgado, Eugene Richards, and Susan Meiselas.  However, in the wake of much recent and not-so-recent theoretical thought that questions old humanist assumptions of "truth" and the privilege of the viewing subject, humanistic documentary photography finds itself in a poststructuralist bind where any photographic representation of the "human condition" is rendered suspect -- dominating, controlling, and objectifying.  The multifarious tradition of photography as social documentation is examined from the early 19th century to the present.  Two exams, writing assignments, and research paper.  No prerequisites. Class size: 22

PHOT 314   Portrait & Its Guises

Luc Sante

. . . Th .

AART

Cross-listed:  Art History  Perhaps more than any other subject genre in art, portraiture is remarkable for the complexity that lies beneath its deceptively simple appearance. What is the object of a portrait? What constitutes the nature of 'likeness' or resemblance--is it a matter of recording the physical characteristics of a person, or rendering the "inner person" in pictorial form? In addition to considering the ontology of the portrait, this lecture course will trace historical developments in portraiture in the 19th and 20th centuries. This period is a crucial one in the history of portraiture, as it encompasses the advent of photography, which ultimately challenged (and changed) the terms of portraiture for all media. The interplay between photography and painting forms the core of the material. Artists to be considered include Ingres, Nadar, Hill and Adamson, van Gogh, Picasso, Cameron Man Ray, and Warhol.  Prerequisite:  Photography 110. Class size: 15
