  • An American on the Acropolis

    Andrew Szegedy-MaszakARTICLEHistory of Photography2005

    William James Stillman led a remarkable life, with stints as an artist, journalist, diplomat and spy. He also used photography in innovative ways to document the Athenian Acropolis. In college Stillman developed a special interest in classical studies, and he went on to befriend American and European intellectual luminaries. Most important for his aesthetic formation was John Ruskin, who became a close friend. Although the personal connection fou…

  • Alfred^Stieglitz

    Andrew Szegedy-MaszakARTICLEHistory of Photography2004

    Throughout his career, Alfred Stieglitz evinced a fascination with transport of all kinds. One of his early pictures, which was to become one of his most famous, is Winter, Fifth Avenue of 1892, depicting a horse-drawn carriage churning through a fierce blizzard. Stieglitz stood outside in the storm until he caught just the composition he wanted: thick ridges of slush, the bulk of the carriage, the straining horses and their crouching driver, and…

  • Portrait of Sir Kenneth Dover, St Andrews, 2001

    Andrew Szegedy-MaszakARTICLEHistory of Photography2002

    ‘Models of logic and lucidity, dignity, sanity,/The golden mean between opposing ills’, so Louis MacNeice characterized the adulation bestowed on the ancient Greeks. Sir Kenneth Dover, an eminent Classical scholar, has done a great deal to give colour and life to the marnl0real stereotype that MacNeice so slyly etched. In his long career, Sir Kenneth has explored many aspects of ancient Greek society and letters. He has written technical studies …

  • Le Havre, France, 1948

    Andrew Szegedy-MaszakARTICLEHistory of Photography2002

    This is a quiet, subtle picture, the pleasure of which derives from its seemingly effortless combination of elements. What one notices first, perhaps, is the near-Euclidean geometry of the image. The top of the tilted lamppost coincides with the apex of the triangle formed by the curtains. They in turn are framed by the rectangular forms of the window, the wall, the street, and, of course, the edges of the negative that enclose the whole assembla…

  • Felix Bonfils and the traveller's trail through Athens

    Andrew Szegedy-MaszakARTICLEHistory of Photography2001

    ‘Our employees are constantly travelling in order to renew our negatives in accordance with every latest development in photographic art. Thus our views are known throughout the world and justly appreciated for their perfect execution and permanence’. So reads a piece of self-promotion from a catalogue issued by the Bonfils atelier in the mid-1880s.1 When Felix Bonfils moved from southern France to Beirut in 1867 and established his photographic …

  • Forum Romanum/Campo Vaccino

    Andrew Szegedy-MaszakARTICLEHistory of Photography1996

    In a famous passage in his Memoirs, Edward Gibbon describes his first experience of the Roman Forum, in the autumn of 1764: ‘After a sleepless night I trod with a lofty step the ruins of the Forum; each memorable spot where Romulus stood, or Tully spoke, or Caesar fell was at once present to my eye; and several days of intoxication were lost or enjoyed before I could descend to a cool and minute investigation’.1 Shordy thereafter, while musing ov…

  • Atget's Church Interiors

    Andrew Szegedy-MaszakARTICLEHistory of Photography1992

    In 1984, the Davison Art Center at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, was given an album of fifty photographs by Eugène Atget. Entitled Intérieurs d'Eglises in Atget's hand on the cover (figure 1), it is a collection of views of ecclesiastical architecture and decoration. Despite its relatively specialized focus, the images in the album are consistent with Atget's other work, and they are valuable for what they reveal about Atget's int…

    No one can fail admire the brilliance of the connections Vidal-Naquet suggests ...Audacity has been characteristic of Vidal-Naquet's career from the start; it marked his activities as a historian engage in the political struggle; it is visible at work in every page of this book.-Bernard Knox, from the Foreword The black hunter travels through the mountains and forests of Greek mythology, living on the frontier of the city-state, of adulthood, of …
