Photography In The Third Reich - Art, Physiognomy And Propaganda

by Christopher Webster

6,99€

 This lucid and comprehensive collection of essays by an international group of scholars constitutes a photo-historical survey of select photographers who embraced National Socialism during the Third Reich. These photographers developed and implemented physiognomic and ethnographic photography, and, through a Selbstgleichschaltung (a self-co-ordination with the regime), continued to practice as photographers throughout the twelve years of the Third Reich. The volume explores, through photographic reproductions and accompanying analysis, diverse aspects of photography during the Third Reich, ranging from the influence of Modernism, the qualitative effect of propaganda photography, and the utilisation of technology such as colour film, to the photograph as ideological metaphor. With an emphasis on the idealised representation of the German body and the role of physiognomy within this representation, the book examines how select photographers created and developed a visual myth of the ‘master race’ and its antitheses under the auspices of the Nationalist Socialist state. Photography in the Third Reich approaches its historical source photographs as material culture, examining their production, construction and proliferation. This detailed and informative text will be a valuable resource not only to historians studying the Third Reich, but to scholars and students of film, history of art, politics, media studies, cultural studies and holocaust studies.

Photography As A Way Of Life - Minor White, Aaron Siskind, And Harry Callahan

by Brendan Fay

~~65,30€~~ 58,77€ 10% OFF

 A richly illustrated look at three visionary artists who charted new directions for photography in midcentury America Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan carved out a new role for photographers and their art in the decades after World War Two. Photography as a Way of Life traces how these influential teachers and theorists reimagined the medium as a livelihood and a life’s work. Together with growing markets for snapshots and photojournalism, the postwar years saw the emergence of photography as an established field of study in higher education. In this beautifully produced book, Brendan Fay takes readers from the late 1940s through the 1970s to explore how White, Siskind, and Callahan transformed the ways photography was taught, shown, and understood. Inclined toward abstraction and personally expressive images, they modeled a commitment to art in the face of commercial and professional pressures. In classrooms and private workshops and through exhibitions, photobooks, and magazines—including Aperture, with White as its founding editor—they offered training and inspiration while building a devoted audience for their pictures. Blending stunning illustrations with rare archival material published here for the first time, Photography as a Way of Life brings together the work of three boldly inventive artists and educators who opened new possibilities for photography in postwar America and exemplified a vision of learning and living through photography. Published in association with the Princeton University Art Museum Exhibition Schedule Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, New Jersey April 18–September 7, 2026

Folk Photography - The American Real-Photo Postcard, 1905-1930

by Lucy Sante

14,40€ + 10% CARD

 A new edition, revised and expanded, of Lucy Sante's classic history of the real-photo postcard, with 130 images and a new afterword. In rural America at the beginning of the twentieth century, the worldwide postcard craze coincided with the spread of light, cheap photographic equipment. The result was the real-photo postcard, so-called because the cards were printed in darkrooms rather than on litho presses, usually in editions of a hundred or fewer, the work of amateurs and professionals alike. They were not intended for tourists, but as a medium of communication for the residents of small towns, isolated on the plains and in the hills. The cards document everything about their time and place, from intimate matters to events that qualified as news. They show people from every walk of life and the whole panorama of human activity: eating, sleeping, labor, worship, animal husbandry, amateur theatrics, barn-raising, spirit-rapping, dissolution, riot, disaster, death. Uncountable millions of them were made in the peak years, 1905 to 1912. The 123 postcards reproduced in this book cover the vast range of subjects encompassed by the medium - sometimes lyrical, sometimes bracingly harsh - and Lucy Sante's penetrating analysis places them in their historical and artistic context. The cards were a medium of expression very much like the folk music being made in the same places at the same time, she argues - open to the complete and unvarnished experience of life and enacting tradition even as they embody modernity. They also represent a crucial stage in the evolution of photography, as the essential link between the plain style of the Civil War photographers and the vision of the great midcentury documentarians, above all Walker Evans. Combining her gifts as a chronicler of early twentieth-century America, a historian of photography, and a peerless critic, Sante shows how the "vast, teeming, borderless body of work" constituted by these postcards adds up to a "self-portrait of the American nation."

Year Time Stopped - The Global Pandemic In Photos

by Christina Hawatmeh e Nour Chamoun

14,93€ + 10% CARD

 Curated by the founders of Scopio, a community-based image marketplace, a stunning and unforgettable visual history that captures the world's response to major events that defined 2020: the COVID pandemic and the sweeping movements for racial and social justice. In 2020, the world experienced massive change. Millions of lives were ended and millions more upended by the Covid-19 pandemic. The shocking police killings of Black men and women gave rise to powerful social movements and widespread collective action to rectify centuries of injustice and racism in the United States and globally. Together, these three colossal events tested the resilience of the social fabric bringing us all together. Attempting to illuminate and make sense of this new reality, photographers from around the world documented these transformational moments as they unfolded. Carefully combing through their archive, the founders of Scopio have curated these photographs to tell the story of the year 2020. It began with a collective sense of isolation and fear to eventually people coming together and protesting the social injustices that were uncovered later that year. Representing artists from around the globe, The Year Time Stopped seeks to empower us and give credence to the extraordinary circumstances that changed our world. The 200 images in this striking visual collection are indelible, impassioned, and unforgettable. Taken together, they are a singular testament to this unprecedented time.

Prelude To Change, Hong Kong Of The 1950s

by Tony Goldsmith

3,95€ + 10% CARD

 In the 1950s, when few people had the means or opportunity to travel the world, the Cold War was at its height. On one side stood the Western powers; on the other, an uneasy alliance between Russia and Communist China. Young National Servicemen manned a large wireless listening post on Hong Kong Island, in defiance of the massive communist neighbor to the north. This posting offered these young men an otherwise unattainable chance to journey to the other side of the globe and experience a way of life that had persisted, with little change, since Hong Kong was forcibly colonized by Great Britain in 1841. The most significant change was a massive increase in population, spurred by the upheaval of the Chinese civil war that ended with the communist victory over the Nationalists in 1949. As depicted here, Hong Kong was both beautiful and, for many, impoverished, but always fascinating during this pivotal time in history.

Woman'S Fashion Choices In A World Controlled By Men. Why Should Society Consider Marilyn Monroe A Fashion Icon, If She Did Not Choose Her Famous Styl

by Nilay Ersoy

~~15,58€~~ 14,02€ 10% OFF

 Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Design (Industry, Graphics, Fashion), grade: A, Harvard University (Faculty of Arts & Sciences), course: Expos 20: Fashion & Power, language: English, abstract: This paper explores the complex interplay between fashion, sexual objectification, and empowerment, using Marilyn Monroe as a central case study. It examines how Monroe, often celebrated as a fashion icon, navigated the tensions between societal expectations and personal identity in a patriarchal world. The study delves into the distinction between Monroe's public persona-shaped by Hollywood's portrayal of her as a seductive symbol-and her private style, which was markedly more minimalist and reflective of her true self, Norma-Jean. Through this lens, the paper argues that while Monroe's fashion choices, particularly those dictated by male filmmakers, contributed to her objectification, they also provided her with a form of empowerment. This paradox highlights the nuanced ways in which women like Monroe have historically negotiated power within the confines of societal norms. Ultimately, the paper contends that while Monroe's public image was largely crafted by male-driven narratives, her personal style offered her a means of reclaiming some agency, illustrating the ongoing struggle for female autonomy in a male-dominated society.

Westwing'S Ar Phone Application. The Potential Of Augmented Reality In The Home And Living Industry

15,67€ + 10% CARD

 Project Report from the year 2022 in the subject Design (Industry, Graphics, Fashion), grade: 1,3, Hult International Business School, language: English, abstract: This report examines Westwing's history, business units, target market, and value proposition, as well as its position in the global furniture e-commerce market. It also explores the potential of augmented reality in the home and living industry and suggests a new strategy for Westwing's AR app, called "Westwing DecorDreams." The implications of this concept are discussed and related to relevant course materials. The paper examines the potential of a theoretical AR application for the German home and lifestyle brand Westwing. Westwing has a competitive advantage due to its clients' generally hedonistic attitude towards its marketing and product presentations. The brand's "shoppable magazine" allows customers to view products alongside visual information such as themes for furnishings and decor. As a leader in the home design industry in Europe, Westwing has already made significant progress in the realm of AR with the development of its current app. However, there is significant potential for the company to further innovate and distinguish itself as a pioneer in the field by enhancing its AR capabilities. Therefore, the development of "Westwing DecorDreams," an AR application that employs artificial intelligence to create personalized interior design concepts for customers, incorporating detailed elements such as decorations and other finishing touches has been created. Rather than simply projecting desired products onto the screen based on what the camera captures, which is industry standard at the moment, this advanced AR technology allows customers to visualize their ideal home design in a truly immersive and interactive way, allowing to create a concrete customer experience. In addition to providing a unique and personalized experience for customers, the adoption of AR technology could also bring economic benefits for Westwing. For example, the use of AR could lead to savings on logistics expenses due to a decrease in the return rate as customers become more certain of their orders. Furthermore, by providing personalized customer service and leveraging the power of AR, Westwing has the opportunity to gain a significant competitive advantage and reach a new consumer group. Overall, the development of "Westwing DecorDreams" represents a powerful opportunity for the company to differentiate itself and stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly competitive market.
