Many Histories of Photography in One House
02/10/2017 Duração: 47minPart of the Focus 45 series. For the past three years, Ellen Handy has been conducting research at the Eastman Museum for her forthcoming book, Histories of Photography: An Introduction, which draws extensively on the museum's collections. Handy states, "The George Eastman Museum is the home of the history of photography—not only because it is the home of the man who did so much to create the photographic industry and medium many of us grew up with, or because it is the first and greatest museum dedicated to the camera arts—but also because it was here that Beaumont Newhall codified the history of photography in narrative form in 1949.

25/07/2017 Duração: 35minEarly Kodak advertising is mostly associated with the iconic image of the Kodak Girl. Then in the 1930s, Eastman Kodak Company turned their advertising campaigns over to the New York advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. How did this change affect the public image of Kodak? Claudia Pretelin, art historian, will explore this era of Kodak advertising and how it created the basis for the so-called snapshot aesthetic. Claudia Pretelin holds a BA in communications and received her MA and PhD in art history from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). For ten years, she worked as a personal assistant to the Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide. In 2011, she was awarded a fellowship from the Mexican National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) in support of her continuing research in Kodak advertising at the George Eastman Museum. She has worked for different museums, foundations, and photo collections in Mexico City, including the Fotoseptiembre Festival in 1999 and the International Bienni
