Photographer Dave Wyatt's research and thoughts about photography
For the past couple of weeks I have been revisiting a lot of work I have looked at over the past few years and coming across some previously unknown to me photographers so I thought I would add a list on here of the initial photographers/movements which have been influencing my practice recently. In no particular order and with links where I have them
“New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape” -exhibition in 1975 at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY
“Altered Landscapes” Nevada Museum of Art collection presented as a follow up to the New Topographic exhibition.
“New American Pastoral: Landscape Photography in the Age of Questioning” Curated by Robert Sobieszek at the International Museum of Photography
“Human/Nature: Recent European Landscape Photography” at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City
“Cruel and Tender” First major exhibition of Photography at the Tate modern in London.
New Objectivity (which was the German Art movement that influenced the work of August Sander)
Modernism/ Neo-modernism/ Modernist Social Document (the FSA work from photographers such as Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange)
Neo-pictorialist (Crewdson, diCorcia, Jeff Wall)
Chicago Institute of Design (Harry Callahan, Yasushiro Ishimoto and by extension Hiroshi Sugimoto)
