Barry Venning takes a look at ‘Masterworks of Twentieth Century Photography’
NADFAS Accredited Lecturer Barry Venning takes us through this brilliant lecture in our stunning po-up location in the heart of Covent Garden (location to be revealed upon ticket purchase).
In the nineteenth century, photography struggled for recognition as an artistic medium on a par with painting and photography, but through its instantaneity, its potential for mass reproduction and its sheer versatility, it became the dominant visual medium of the early twentieth century.
This lecture considers a range of great images produced since 1900, by photographers as diverse as Cartier-Bresson, Weegee, Robert Capa, Garry Winogrand and Edward Burtynsky. The photographs were taken for different purposes, sometimes using different processes, some in colour and others in black and white, but they have one thing in common: they show us the world in novel and unexpected ways.
