Faking it
Author: Mia FinemanPublisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 1588394735
Category : Exhibitions
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
"It is a long-held truism that 'the camera does not lie'. Yet, as Mia Fineman argues in this illuminating volume, that statement contains its own share of untruth. While modern technological innovations, such as Adobe's Photoshop software, have accustomed viewers to more obvious levels of image manipulation, the practice of "doctoring" photographs has in fact existed since the medium was invented. In "Faking It", Fineman demonstrates that today's digitally manipulated images are part of a continuum that begins with the earliest years of photography, encompassing methods as diverse as overpainting, multiple exposure, negative retouching, combination printing, and photomontage. Among the book's revelations are previously unknown and never before published images that document the acts of manipulation behind two canonical works of modern photography: one blatantly fantastical (Yves Klein's "Leap into the Void" of 1960); the other a purportedly unadulterated record of a real place in time (Paul Strand's "City Hall Park" of 1915). Featuring 160 captivating pictures created between the 1840s and 1990s in the service of art, politics, news, entertainment, and commerce, "Faking It" provides an essential counterhistory of photography as an inspired blend of fabricated truths and artful falsehoods."--Publisher's website.

I Who Should Command All
Author: Alice Jaynes TylerPublisher: Pelican Publishing
ISBN: 9781455606221
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
An investigation of the possibility that John James Audubon and Louis XVII, the Dauphin of France, were the same person. Was John James Audubon, America’s most celebrated naturalist, really Louis Charles, Duc de Normandie, the Lost Dauphin of eighteenth-century France? The possibility that royalty flowed in the veins of Audubon has intrigued many a historian. Previous biographies have tried to unravel the threads of the Audubon family’s secret, but none have been as successful as I Who Should Command All. Extracts from letters of John James Audubon and statements of various family members shed light about Audubon’s birth in the author’s attempt to solve this intriguing historical question. Tyler discusses how Admiral Jean Audubon, an intimate of the Marquis de Lafayette, George Washington, and a ship commander at the Battle of Yorktown, came to adopt the mysterious youth the world would later know as John James Audubon. She also addresses the deeper meaning of Audubon’s reference to himself in a letter to his faithful wife Lucy as, “I who should command all.”
