The Paradox of Photography (repost)

The Paradox of Photography (Faux Titre) by Pierre Taminiaux
English | 2009-07-24 | ISBN: 9042026669 | 206 pages | PDF | 2,3 MB

The Paradox of Photography analyzes the discourse on photography by four of the most important modern French poets and theorists (Baudelaire, Breton, Barthes and Valéry). It stresses in particular the importance of this visual language for the development of both new forms of narrative and original critical studies on issues of representation in art.

It also reflects upon the integration of photography within the domain of technical modernity while emphasizing its aesthetic identity stemming from the Western tradition of figurative painting.
