Item description from seller

109 Seiten; viele Illustrationen (s/w Fotografie); 30 cm; fadengeh. Orig.-Pappband m. illustr. OUmschl. Gutes Ex.; Umschlag stw. leicht berieben. - The influence of photography on art is a much debated subject. Less often considered is the equally interesting question of the influence of art on photography and the subtle interaction between the two. Graham Ovenden has discovered, selected and assembled photographs from the 1850s to 1870s which in style, mood and content faithfully reflect Pre-Raphaelite art. From Rossetti's superb series of photographs of William Morris's wife Jane we can see the inspiration behind the Brotherhood's ideal of feminine beauty. Julia Margaret Cameron's photographic illustrations for Tennyson's Idylls of the King share the intense poetic vision of Millais and Burne-Jones. The multiple imagery of Lewis Carroll's The Dream echoes the mystery of Arthur Hughes' The Tryst. There are many direct links between individual photographs and specific paintings and drawings but Ovenden, whilst drawing attention to these, has not sought to establish priorities. In his selection of what are amongst the most beautiful photographs ever pro-duced, he has shown how a shared imaginative and aesthetic ethos influences the representation of reality in any pictorial medium. The majority of the illustrations have been reproduced from Graham Ovenden's own vast collection of nineteenth century photographs. One of England's leading artists, he does not share the ambivalent attitude towards photography still so prevalent. He is convinced that photography should be judged and appreciated on the same level and within the terms of reference usually reserved for the "fine arts".
