У фотографий есть странный и мощный способ сформировать то, как мы видим мир. Самые удачные образы входят в наше коллективное сознание, определяя эпохи, творя историю или просто касаясь чего-то настолько фундаментально человеческого и общечеловеческого, что становятся резонансными иконами по всему земному шару. Чтобы изучить это уникальное влияние, Photo Icons исследует некоторые из наиболее важных фотографических ориентиров под микроскопом. От некоторых из самых ранних фотографий, таких как восьмичасовая фотография Нисефора Ньепса с восьмичасовой выдержкой на крыше 1827 года и знаменитая уличная сцена Луи Дагера 1838 года, до Мартина Парра, это не только история искусства, но и индивидуальный анализ его социальное, историческое и художественное значение. Мы берем экспериментальные сюрреалистические кадры 1920-х и жесткий фотореализм 1930-х, в том числе «Мать-мигрантку» Доротеи Ланж. Мы видим властителей (Че Гевара) и сердцеедов (Мэрилин Монро), а также огромную гамму человеческих эмоций и переживаний, о которых фотография так ярко свидетельствует: из эйфорического «Поцелуя перед мэрией» (1950) Дуано. к ужасу фильма Ника Ута «Напалм против мирных жителей», в котором девятилетний Фан Тхи Ким Фук бежит обнаженным к камере от южновьетнамского напалма.Photographs have a strange and powerful way of shaping the way we see the world. The most successful images enter our collective consciousness, defining eras, making history, or simply touching something so fundamentally human and universal that they have become resonant icons all over the globe. To explore this unique influence, Photo Icons puts some of the most important photographic landmarks under the microscope. From some of the earliest photography, such as Nicephore Niepce's 1827 eight-hour-exposure rooftop picture and Louis Daguerre's famous 1838 street scene, through to Martin Parr, this is as much a history of the medium as a case-by-case analysis of its social, historical, and artistic impact. We take in experimental Surrealist shots of the 1920s and the gritty photorealism of the 1930s, including Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother. We witness the power-makers (Che Guevara) and the heartbreakers (Marilyn Monroe) as well as the great gamut of human emotions and experiences to which photography bears such vivid witness: from the euphoric Kiss in Front of City Hall (1950) by Doisneau to the horror of Nick Ut's Napalm Against Civilians showing nine-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc running naked toward the camera from South Vietnamese napalm.
