History of art includes debates on whether photography is fine art, from its introduction in 1820's to the present day. There will be time for questions and interaction. Join me on this fascinating journey! In this 45mins presentation I try to answer a few questions:
- Is photography fine art and what is art?
- How has photography changed art-making?
- I will also suggest books and photo exhibitions in London, such as Magnum Photo Gallery,Photographers Gallery, V&A Photo Centre, British Centre of Photography.
- Artists covered: Dorothea Lange, Fox Talbot, Ansel Adams, Lásló Maholo-Nagy, Edward Degas, Claude Monet, Marianne Brandt, Andy Warhol, Jo Spence, Cindy Sherman, Alfred Stieglitz, Cartier Bresson.
About Roberta
I have a big passion for history of art and architecture and I love presenting on different art topics, making them relevant and interesting for all audiences. My knowledge is based on academic studies, guiding art and architecture tours in London as well as going to exhibitions on my own and talking to artists. Example of topics of my talks: women artists, architecture of London, art & music, textile art, street photography, etc. Ad-hoc art topics can be agreed with the organisation.
My art tour organisation is called Art Tours with a Theme - ART wiT and you can check out my activity on Instagram @artwit_london and Facebook @artwitlondon. My talks are offered in-person in London and online. You can have a look at my past talks on my YouTube channel (youtube.com/channel/UCZZIqTNVyZZDNZcwnw3kIpw).
