  • 1920's Photography Essay

    686 Words  | 2 Pages

    The photos of Baker, Florida are probably meant to highlight the economic problems in Florida during the 1920s. One photo shows a building that used to be a bank but is now a barbershop. The descriptions that come with the photos describe Baker as a town that used to be prosperous until the railroad tracks were torn up. This is further emphasized by another photo that makes Baker look like a ghost town. During the depression over 150 banks in Florida closed. In addition “the operating revenues of two of the largest railroads in Florida went into receivership.” This would explain the pitiful condition of Baker in the photos. The purpose of the photos is to show the dismal economic conditions in Florida. Therefore, it’s possible that they were intended to convince people that something had to be done about Florida.

Artists including Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Kazimir Malevich, Raoul Hausmann, and Hannah Hoch used different styles and aesthetic qualities, to portray different messages about modern life. Although the different artists are from different stylistic periods, the overarching theme of wanting to reject the traditional and the bourgeois and capitalist ideals can be seen across each style and each artist’s work.

Both Niécpe’s and Daguerre’s cameras made pictues on metal plates. In the same year Daguerre made his camera, an Englishman by the name of William Henry Fox Talbot made the first camera that photographed pictures on paper. The camera printed a reverse picture onto a negative and chemicals were needed to produce the photo up right.
