The Pigment Processes - Photographic Processes Series - Chapter 8 of 12발음듣기
대기중
One of the major themes in photography is this desire to have a more permanent image.발음듣기
대기중
You have the Woodbury type.발음듣기
대기중
You have the platinum print.발음듣기
대기중
Very stable, very long lasting processes.발음듣기
대기중
Then you also have the pigment family of processes.발음듣기
대기중
The gum dichromate process and the carbon print process.발음듣기
대기중
The gum print is based on the light sensitivity of chromium.발음듣기
대기중
Mungo Pontoon is the first person to really do experiments with the light sensitivity of this compound.발음듣기
대기중
Talbot himself experiments with chromium salts.발음듣기
대기중
He discovers that if you mix them with colloids gelatin or gum they harden when they are exposed to sunlight.발음듣기
대기중
Based on the work of Talbot it doesn’t take too much time for people to figure out that if we take a colloid like gum Arabic.발음듣기
대기중
And we put pigment into those, and then sensitize those with chromium salts we now have a medium that can brushed onto paper expose it to light under a negative.발음듣기
대기중
And when we put this paper in warm water areas that are struck by light will harden, and that’s where the dark pigment will be.발음듣기
대기중
Areas that are not struck by light will dissolve away, leaving the white of the paper.발음듣기
대기중
So now we have a brand new printing process, based on chromium.발음듣기
대기중
If you look at a gum print, the darker the picture, the thicker the deposit of gum.발음듣기
대기중
The whiter the picture, the more you are getting towards the actual paper.발음듣기
대기중
So the image itself will have slight relief.발음듣기
대기중
One of the names associated with gum printing and carbon printing is Alphonse Poi Tevin.발음듣기
대기중
He is a Frenchman who perfects certain elements of chromium printing.발음듣기
대기중
While it is still imperfect, it is the seed to an improvement that is later done by Joseph Swan that results in the process we now call carbon printing.발음듣기
대기중
It is essentially a piece of paper that is coated with gelatin that is bearing pigment.발음듣기
대기중
This thing is called the “tissue” but it is not tissue like at all, it’s like a piece of plastic.발음듣기
대기중
The tissue is sensitized with chromium.발음듣기
대기중
It is then contacted printed with a negative.발음듣기
대기중
The light striking the gelatin hardens it selectively.발음듣기
대기중
The tissue is then put into cold water, and a second piece of paper bearing clear gelatin on the surface is put into contact with the tissue.발음듣기
대기중
They are slid into a tray with hot water.발음듣기
대기중
The unhardened gelatin with pigment oozes out the edges.발음듣기
대기중
It is softening because of the hot water.발음듣기
대기중
You peal off the original tissue, and by washing it in hot water you take away all the black you don’t need in order to get a continuous tone photograph.발음듣기
대기중
The image you get is very permanent.발음듣기
대기중
It is still being done today, there are still people making carbon prints today.발음듣기
대기중
Pictorialists really established photography as a fine art form.발음듣기
대기중
They used things like the gum dichromate process or platinum prints that involved a lot of hand work and craftsmanship.발음듣기
대기중
You really had a sense of the photographic object as something that was made by somebody.발음듣기
대기중
Alfred Stieglitz is the person most associated with what was called the photo-secession.발음듣기
대기중
He and Edward Steichen co-founded the movement.발음듣기
대기중
They promoted this idea through a publication called Camera Work.발음듣기
대기중
Stieglitz had a gallery called 291 in New York that showed photography as an art form.발음듣기
대기중
This was a camera that was used by Alfred Stieglitz.발음듣기
대기중
It was given to the museum by Georgia O’Keeffe in the 1950’s.발음듣기
대기중
The opening of that lens determines the sharpness of the picture.발음듣기
대기중
If you open it up quite a ways, you get an image that is soft around the edges.발음듣기
대기중
He was interested in Pictorialists photography, and this was the lens designed to do that.발음듣기
대기중
Stieglitz, Steichen, and Kasebier wanted people to take photography seriously as a fine art form.발음듣기
대기중
Not just an automatic activity that produced images without anybody’s intervention.발음듣기
대기중
I think what the argument was really about was where is the creative input of the artist in photography.발음듣기
대기중
That is a theme that goes back to the invention of the medium.발음듣기
