Her interests in photography emerged from her sculpting experience at Fritz Schwegler's class of Free Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf (1992-8). Therefore, more absorbed with images than objects themselves, Erhard began to work through a particular thematics, focusing on memory and history, primarily referring to the aesthetics and problems of Modernism. Erhard held her debut exhibitions within her academy years, some of her most important shows of the time include the joint display with Judith Samen at the Kulturbahnhof Eller in Düsseldorf (1997), and group shows at the Musashino Art University in Tokyo (1998), and the Architectural Association in London (1999). In recent years, she gained critical attention with her series "Dobra" (2013), revising Brazilian post-war architecture, and "Moscow Intervention" (2014) on Russian constructivism; some of her most important exhibitions in recent years were held at the Künstlerhaus Dortmund (2012), Baustelle Schaustelle in Essen, Projektraum Fotografie in Dortmund (both 2014), and the Kunstverein in Kassel (2015), which solidified her name among the most interesting contemporary
Born in 1934, Jerry Uelsmann grew up an inner city kid of Detroit. In high school, Uelsmann worked as an assistant for a photography studio; he eventually photographed weddings. Uelsmann went to Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) where he met Minor White, who “introduced [him] to the concept that photography could be used for self-expression” (Berman). While at RIT, he studied with Bruce Davidson, Peter Turner and Car Chiaraenza, with whom he held frequent discussions on how photography could be different. After RIT, Uelsmann went to Indiana University where he changed his degree to a Master of Fine Arts degree. He graduated with an M.S. and an M.F.A at Indiana University in 1960, where he studied with Henry Holmes Smith, who had worked with Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. After graduation, he moved to Gainesville, Florida and began teaching photography (Taylor). Currently, Uelsmann is retired in Florida with his wife Maggie Taylor. He still creates photomontages and has exhibits all over the world. Uelsmann and his wife vacation in Yellowstone National Park every year, where he photographs the area and creates beautiful surreal photomontages (Congdon, 316-317).
In The Photographer’s Eyes, John Szarkowski focused on issues that encompass the art of photography. The five issues are: The Thing Itself, The Detail, The Frame, Time, and the Vantage Point. “These issues do not define discrete categories of work; on the contrary they should be regarded as interdependent aspects of a single problem…”
Art could be displayed in many different forms; through photography, zines, poetry, or even a scrapbook. There are many inspirational women artists throughout history, including famous women artists such Artemisia Gentileschi and Georgia O’Keeffe. When searching for famous female artists that stood out to me, I found Frida Kahlo, and Barbara Kruger. Two very contrasting type of artists, though both extremely artistic. Both of these artists are known to be feminists, and displayed their issues through painting and photography. Frida Kahlo and Barbara Kruger’s social and historical significance will be discussed.
At the age of seventeen Kollwitz moved to Berlin for a year of study at the ‘Künstlerinnenschule’ (‘School for Female Artists’). There she was influenced by one of her teachers, Karl Stauffer-Bern. Kollwitz wanted to paint, but her teacher directed her again and again to take up drawing. He encouraged her to visit an exhibition of the German etcher Max Klinger. Following Klinger, she began creating etchings, lithographs and woodcuts, eventually abandoning painting for graphics.

Biography of Franz Schubert * No Works Cited Many prominent musicians produced major works during the romantic period. Among these are Beethoven, Strauss, and Bach. But the musician that I think had the most impact, was Franz Schubert. Franz Peter, born on 31 January 1797 was one of fourteen children born of Franz Theodore Schubert and Elisabeth Vietz, four of which survived. He grew up in an apartment that was converted to a classroom in which his father taught several elementary school classes.
This trend also found roots in the emergence of photographic technology, originally developed in the early 1800’s and advanced continuously until the present. During this time, artists and photographers suddenly found that they could much more easily captur...

Born to Nettie Lee Smith and Bill Smith on December 18, 1918 in Wichita, Kansas was William Eugene Smith, who would later revolutionize photography. His mother Nettie was into photography, taking photos of her family, especially her two sons as they grew up, photographing events of their lives (Hughes 2). Photography had been a part of Smith’s life since he was young. At first it started out always being photographed by his mother, and then turned into taking photographs along with his friend Pete, as he got older. They often practiced developing photos in Nettie’s kitchen, and he later began to create albums with his photographs. His photographs diff...
A good curator has the potential to shape a person’s approach to art and culture. In 2011, Andrew Bolton’s stunning presentation of fashion as art, in ‘Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty’ opened my eyes to the work of a designer that would become the backbone to the majority of my undergraduate study. Aged 18, I traveled to New York where I visited the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Four years later, when ‘Savage Beauty’ was showing once again - this time at the V&A, curated by Claire Wilcox - I wrote my dissertation on the complex relationship between art and fashion through a detailed analysis of the exhibition which gave me my biggest passion.
One of the most prevalent examples of German modernism was their newfound attitude towards art. Ekstein...
