Photography in France 3304-1DPXW-KHK-04
The appearance of the invention of photography in France and England at the beginning of the 19th century was an important moment in the history of perceiving reality and understanding a work of art (not only plastic). The classes will be devoted to selected issues concerning the influence of the new medium on shaping the imagination of recipients (in a collective and individual plan), on social and political life (scientific, medical, administrative, entertainment, etc.), on fine arts (influence on painting and searching for the specificity of the new arts) and literature.
