Abstract

JUNQUEIRA FILHO, Luiz Carlos Uchôa. Notes on photography's history: the "strange meeting" amongst reality and fiction. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.60, pp. 237-245. ISSN 0101-3106.

In this paper, I intend to portray the "strange meeting" between pictorialist photography and straight photography, based on the artistic evolution of Alfred Stieglitz, one of the fathers of modern photography. Surely, he was not frightened in freely oscilate between fiction and reality, figurativism and abstraction, naturalism and interventionism, materialism and spirituality. An analogy is proposed between a given personality and a new idea.

Keywords : Pictorialist photography; Straight photography; Fiction; Reality; Alfred Stieglitz.
