Gener: DocumentaryThe Genius Of Photography is the BBC抯 most comprehensive look at one of the world抯 most influential art forms ?exploring every aspect of photography from daguerreotype to digital.
Featuring many of the greatest photographs ever taken ?and the photographers who took them ?this new, six-part series looks at the history of photography, from Man Ray and Walker Evans to more contemporary geniuses such as Richard Avedon, Sally Mann and Martin Parr.
Ep 1 ?Fixing the ShadowsFixing the Shadows tells the story of the birth of photography itself and the profound question that it raised, and which has never been satisfactorily answered: what is photography for? Detailing the rival methods of the pioneers Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre for 慺ixing the shadows? the programme examines how photography took its place alongside other new technologies like the railway and telegraph to transform our understanding of the modern world. It describes how pioneer photographers like the portraitist Nadar asserted the status of photography as an art only for this status to be transformed by the Kodak revolution, which put the camera into the hands of the masses who unlocked its potential for surreality, randomness and surprise. Finally it examines
the case of Jacques-Henri Lartigue, the schoolboy photographer who demonstrated the true genius of photography in the hands of the amateur. Includes interviews with Chuck Close and David Byrne
Ep 2 ?Documents for ArtistsIn the decades following the First World War, photography was the central medium of the age. 揂nyone who fails to understand photography? said the Hungarian artist and photographer Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, 搘ill be one of the illiterates of the future? Precise, objective, rational and apparently machine-like, it was used to promote the radical utopia of the Soviet Union and to bring order and clarity to the chaos of Weimar Germany. But while some prized photography for its ability to objective documents others were using it to explore the irrational, the subjective and the surreal, photography抯 natural language. The Genius of Photography ?Documents for Artists examines in detail the work of some of the greatest and most influential modern photographers: Alexander Rodchenko, August Sander, Man Ray, Eugene Atget, Walker Evans and Bill Brandt. With contributions from Martin Parr, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joel Meyerowitz and Mark Haworth-Booth.
Ep 3 ?Right Time, Right PlaceBeing in the right place at the right time, the decisive moment, getting in close ?in the popular imagination this is photography at its best, a medium that makes us eyewitnesses to the moments when history is made. But just how good is photography at making sense of what it records? Is getting in close always better than standing back, and just how decisive are the moments that photographers risk their necks to capture? Set against the backdrop of the Second World War and its aftermath, The Genius of Photography ?Right Place, Right Time examines how photographers dealt with dramatic and tragic events like D-Day, the Holocaust and Hiroshima, and the questions their often extraordinary pictures raise about history as seen through the viewfinder. With contributions from Magnum legends Philip Jones Griffiths and Susan Meiselas, soldier-lensman Tony Vaccaro and broadcaster Jon Snow.
Ep 4 ?Paper MoviesThe American photographer Garry Winogrand said that he took photographs to 搒ee what the world looked like photographed? Photographers have always had this as their mission statement, but the three decades from the late 1950抯 onwards was the real golden age of the photographic journey. The Genius of Photography ?Paper Movies relives the journeys that produced some of the most acclaimed paper movies. The programme takes a fascinating look at Robert Frank抯 odyssey through 50s America, William Klein抯 one-man assault on the sidewalks of New York, Garry Winogrand抯 charting of the human comedy in Central Park Zoo, Tony Ray Jones抯 dissection eccentricity at the English seaside, and finally, William Eggleston抯 guide to Memphis and the American South. Episode four of the series also examines the arrival of colour as a credible medium for serious photographers, as controversial at the time as Dylan going electric.
Contributors include legendary photographers like William Klein, William Eggleston, Robert Adams, Stephen Shore, Joel Sternfeld, Joel Meyerowitz, Martin Parr and artist Ed Ruscha.
Ep 5 ?We are FamilyHaving conquered the street and the road, photographers approached the final frontier: the family and the self. The Genius of Photography ?We are Family is about what happens when photography translates personal relationships into photographic ones, when strangers, celebrities, lovers and children get fed to the camera. It抯 also about what happens when photographers turn their cameras on themselves梬hat they choose to reveal, and just what they try to conceal.
The chronological heartland of the programme is the me decades of the 1970抯 and the 1980抯. From Diane Arbus抯 freaks (we meet Colin Wood, the manic boy clutching the hand grenade in Central Park) to Richard Avedon抯 confrontations with celebrities like Marylin Monroe, from the confessional diaries of Larry Clark and Araki, to the uncomfortably intimate family portraits of Sally Mann and Richard Billingham, the series takes a photographic journey into some of the most intriguing ideas of the photographic self, including an unforgettable encounter as Nan Goldin photographs Joey the transsexual.
