Let’s learn together.

 

Photograph is certainly a document and an historical one that – in which the date and current peculiarities  form, as it were, a water-mark- it is also a fragment of general history.

For one hundred and fifty years, history has been influenced – with increasing speed towards the present day – by photography, which “wishes to be present in history, and in official history just as much as in the secret history, in collective history as much as that of the individual.

 

History from the point of view of photography is, in a manner of speaking, that kind of discursive way in w/c one introduces photographic documents, linking one to the next.

 

Explaining the inner variability of photographic images, while recognizing an evolutionary aspect to this material w/c  allows us to make history.

 

The very study of history of painting is only possible thanks to photography.

 

It would be inappropriate to try, on the other hand, to force photography into the strait-jacket of  schemata.
