Roger Fenton, still life


Roger Fenton, Ivory cup and fruit (1860)
para ler mais, aqui.

..."wedded perfect technique with an unerring ability to choose the precise vantage point and lighting conditions that would best render the smallest details of architecture, convey a sense of monumentality, and imbue his pictures with a Romantic spirit."

gostei da conferência, A Lente e o Lápis – Contaminações entre a Pintura e a Fotografia, por Margarida Medeiros, professora de Cultura Visual na Nova, ali ao lado. ("For Balzac, flanerie was the gastronomy of the eye" e ainda "If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude", dizia Baudelaire)
