[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"The rise of the impressionist movement can be seen in part as a reaction by artists to the established medium of photography. The taking of fixed or still images challenged painters by providing a new medium with which to capture reality. Initially photography’s presence seemed to undermine the artist’s depiction of nature and their ability to mirror reality. Both portrait and landscape paintings were deemed somewhat deficient and lacking in truth as photography “produced lifelike images much more efficiently and reliably”.
In spite of this, photography actually inspired artists to pursue other means of artistic expression, and rather than competing with photography to emulate reality, artists focused “on the one thing they could inevitably do better than the photograph – by further developing into an art form its very subjectivity in the conception of the image, the very subjectivity that photography eliminated”. The Impressionists sought to express their perceptions of nature, rather than create exacting reflections or mirror images of the world. This allowed artists to subjectively depict what they saw with their “tacit imperatives of taste and conscience”. Photography encouraged painters to exploit aspects of the painting medium, like colour, which photography then lacked; “the Impressionists were the first to consciously offer a subjective alternative to the photograph”.

Interesting compo, very original. An impressionist feeling, indeed, both for the landscape and the painting in the painting...in the photo, I mean ! Interesting note. In fact, I think that the photography has the same role too, in our days (the artistic photography, I mean), as the impressionist painting, in its days: "not to emulate reality", but "to develop into an art form its very subjectivity in the conception of the image".

TFS,
