Straight photography emerged in the early twentieth century and was a way of thinking about
photography as independent and unique from other artistic media like painting. It attempted to capture a
scene as objectively as possible therefore it didn't rely on methods of photographic manipulation. One of
the first photographers to experiment with straight photography was Alfred Stieglitz in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries. He would often employ straight photography to depict everyday scenes of
modern life as seen in his photograph The Terminal.

Hadj Ounis's most notable work is his sculpture titled "Metamorphosis." This piece showcases Ounis's mastery of form and texture, as he seamlessly combines metal and wood to create a dynamic and visually striking composition. The juxtaposition of the two materials creates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and industry.
1. Once photography was established as an interpretive medium unto
itself, photography’s position within the arts was reconsidered.
• Photography’s inherent characteristics were examined, and a photographic art
theory emerged.
• Modernist artists stopped using historical subject matter and trying to depict
nature in a realistic, convincing way, and started to explore experimental
representation within their work.
• Artists were freer to experiment with content. (Individual freedom over social
authority.)
• Aesthetic formalism emphasized forms over content. The belief that forms could
become as important as subject matter prevailed.
• Modernist artists also believed that meaning is inherently placed in an artwork by
the artist and read by the viewer.
2. A key feature of the photography of the 1920s was the
emergence of a wide variety of techniques, styles and
approaches.
The photographic climate was one of experimentation,
with photo-collage, montage, camera-less images,
unusual vantage points and extreme close ups.
Dadaism, Surrealism, Constructivism - were about
exploring content, form and sometimes social / political
commentary.
3. Christian Schad - German artist who joined the DADA movement in 1916.
Schadograph, 1916
• DADA artists favored accident and chance in the making of their work. They
were interested in the absurd, the random and the ridiculous -- in direct
opposition to the conventional notions of art.
4. Man Ray (Emmanuel Rudnitsky), Rayograph, 1920.
“A certain amount of contempt for the material exmployed to express an idea is
indispensable to the purest realization of this idea.”
6. Man Ray,Torso, Sabattier effect, 1920.
The sabattier effect (first documented by French scientist Armand Sabattier in
1862) is the partial reversal of an image caused by exposing it to light during
development. This gives the print both positive and negative qualities and adds
“halos,” called Mackie lines between adjacent light and dark areas.
9. Man Ray’s work was inspired in part by the unique vision of the
Dadaists and the Surrealists.
• Dada was not a particular style but claimed the freedom to
experiment.
• The Dadaists were interested in using the element of chance
and a sense of playfulness in their work. Their art was produced
in unconventional ways and took unusual forms.
• The artist Jean Arp did a piece where he dropped torn paper
and let it fall. “Arranged according to the laws of chance.”
12. Marcel Duchamp was associated with the Dada group and invented the readymade
- taking common manufactured objects that he promoted as art.
• He wanted to create “a new thought for that object.” - to demystify art by proclaiming that
there were so many interesting things in the world, there was no need to make objects.
• Duchamp’s aproach was conceptual, making the mental act of choice--not the physical act
of the hand--the center of creation.
Duchamp (R. Mutt), Fountain, Readymade, 1917.
13. “In 1913 I had the happy idea to fasten a bicycle wheel to a kitchen stool and
watch it turn. It was then that the word readymade came to mind.”
Duchamp, Readymade, 1913
14. “Generate ideas, no matter how wild or far-fetched, and enable new
associations to be made in the gray matter of your brain.”
Bottle Rack, 1914
15. In 1919, Duchamp drew a moustache and goatee on a postcard sized
reproduction of the Mona Lisa, creating one of the most well known acts of
degrading a famous work of art.
When pronounced in French, the title L.H.O.O.Q., puns the phrase “Elle a
chaud au cul,” which translates colloquially as “She has a hot ass.”
19. Man Ray, Self Portrait, oil on canvas, bells, pushbutton
20. Surrealism came about after WW1 from Dadaism. It was defined as a state
of mind rather than a specific artistic style. The surrealists were interested
in using dreams, the unconscious and free association.
DeChirico, oil on canvas, 1914
21. Surrealists were interested in the liberation from conscious reason and convention.
The poet Andre Bréton wrote a Manifesto of Surrealism in 1924 which said in part:
“Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of
previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested
play of thought.”
57. The Bauhaus was formed in 1919 during the Weimar Republic
(1918-1933), and became the most influential architectural and design
movement since the time of the Renaissance.
58. The photography work of the Bauhaus artists was marked by a modern
and geometric style, with unusual perspectives and tight framing. This style
became known as the New Vision or New Objectivity.
59. Maholy-Nagy came from a Constructivist background.
Constructivism - a period from 1913 through the 1920s during which Russian avant-garde
artists rejected traditional easel painting and “art for art’s sake” in favor of
utilitarian designs intended for mass production.
61. Another distinctive characteristic of the New Vision / New Objectivity is the close up.
It was regarded as one means for the objective presentation of fact.
87. Aleksander Rodchenko, Advertisment, 1923, Nine Inch Nails logo, 1987
Suprematism (1915-1923) was a Russian avant-garde movement to
reduce painting to pure geometric abstraction by eliminating any allusions
to the real world.
112. Group f64 - Ansel Adams (1902-1984), Moon and Half Dome, 1930s
113. Group F64, founded in Oakland, CA. in 1932 by Ansel Adams,
Edward Weston, Imogen Cuningham, Willard Van Dyke, Sonia
Noskowiak, John Paul Edwards and Henry Swift.
• They promoted straight, modern photography. They named themselves
after the smallest aperture on the camera lens to symbolize their
allegiance to: sharply focused images printed on glossy gelatin silver
papers without any signs of pictorial “handwork” and mounted on white
boad.
• “…Group f64 limits its members and invitational names to those
workers who are striving to define photography as an art form by simple
and direct presentation through purely photographic methods. The
group will show no work at any time that does not conform to its
standards of pure photography. Pure photography is defined as
possessing no qualities of technique, composition or idea, derivative of
any other art form.”
118. Cunningham, 1926
“The greatest aesthetic beauty, the fullest power of expression, the real worth of the
medium lies in ts pure form rather than its superficial modifications.” (F64 group)

Film un Foto - an international exhibition in Stuttgart, Germany, 1929. The show
