    Walker Evans I was assigned to write about Walker Evans, born in the USA (1903-1975) who is considered a noticeable American photographer during his time, his art is considered influential during the twentieth century because he is considered a creator in the documentary style in the American photography. His photographs documented American life and culture during 30’s/70’s. I believe his journey through photography is a journey through concept, belief, and art history. At the beginning of his practice Evans admired and reflected the American history as his work documents the actual lifestyle of poor common people, it also described some of their agony and misery, this is why his art became a record that describes the important lifestyle during that time. This was all during the black and white photography technique at his early starts.…

    The image Fringe by Rebecca Belmore and Sammy Baloji’s, Untitled from the Memoire Series are both similar and different. To begin with, Fringe is an image in which an aboriginal woman is shown with her back to the audience, with a deep red slash running from her right shoulder to her left hip. The figure in Fringe also expresses to the viewer that the woman has not been destroyed but she is indeed wounded, but she is healing. The image is a visual record of how deep is the cut of the patriarchal mind-set. Belmore is critiquing the history of Orientalism here in a very simple way.…

    In a world becoming increasingly saturated in media, the narratives of many different cultures are spreading throughout the world, and have a greater influence as people across the globe have access to these narratives. What happens, though, when the stories the world knows about a culture are told exclusively through the eyes of foreigners? Can an outsider really know enough about another culture to tell a complex, realistic narrative about the people they are trying to represent? Too often, the Western world has a disproportionate amount of influence over the narratives of other cultures, causing stories about cultures in Africa and the Eastern world to be overflowing with stereotypes, and offensive portrayals of the people who live there. Western story tellers have the tendency to inaccurately depict foreign cultures to make them fit their own simplified perception of them, and in doing so, further strengthen the power structures already at play in the world.…

    A skinny black man sits on a pedestal, a platform mounted precariously high resting on a beam of worn wood which decreases in width as our eyes travel upward. The subject is curled, his legs clutched tightly to his chest and his spine bulging from beneath his skin. This is the image that greets us when looking at Robert Mapplethorpe’s Untitled (Phillip on a Pedestal), the photo could be described as beautiful or disturbing, or more likely both. One feels the need to ogle over the awkward bones protruding, at the figure we are immediately drawn to. When breaking down the image, the figure no longer becomes this singular being.…

    Before enter in context about the art movement which belong this painting I think is fair to do a brief review to develop empathy with this painting that received the name of a city located in the Basque region that was considered a Republican bastion that was in conflict with the Nationals represented by the fascist general Francisco Franco. This art work was painted by the Spaniard artist Pablo Picasso in 1937, while he was living as an expatriated in Paris, where he was contacted by members of Spain’s republicans to develop an art work to be exhibited at the Paris’ International Exposition. Picasso at first instance has not idea about the subject of his painting but he received inspiration from the consternation that he suffered when he read in a newspaper that “in the afternoon of the 26th of April 1937, German planes began bombing the town of Guernica, trying out some of their new weaponry and military tactics. Germany, under the direction of Adolf Hitler, had supported the Nationalist side of the Spanish Civil War with weapons and other material…

    The resulting disjunction—between words that refer to an all-too-human state and images devoid of people—suggests the inherent limitations of both photography and language as “descriptive systems” to address a complex social problem.” This quote represents how much of Rosler’s emotion she puts into her work to create a piece which not only shows social states, but causes the reader to look further into the words and writings next to it, which creates a stronger connection between the audience and the empty photographs. By taking out the person/people whom the work is surrounding, it leaves you wondering many things about the person, creating your own image in your head of their life and how you perceive them to be. It could almost be classed as a game, being given a setting and words that represent the people within that setting, and having to create your own scene.…
