Post no. 4
Jerry Uelsmann is one of the photographers pioneers who actually did Photoshop without the software. He did it manually since the software wasn't even invented at the time (1967). I could conclude that his works are equally as polished as the current artists, if not more detailed and clearer.
Most of his images are black and white, very surrealistic just like my chosen artist, David Ho. The vast difference were to be the colors chosen as Uelsmann prefers his photographs to be in black and white and Ho is most likely to use bright, grungy colors. They are similar when it comes to using natural elements like tree roots, forests, animals and the nude human.
If you would observe Jerry Uelsmann's work on the top right corner of my collage and compare it to David Ho's work underneath the red riding hood column to the left, (the pig that looks as if its opening itself up), they both have similarities when playing around with human forms.
Both artists are mysterious and dark.
Arosie Lee is a contemporary artist found on the net who is inspired by Uelsmann himself. She too produces work that imitates his style.
I have compiled all my favourite works of them and put them in a timeline position below. Check it out!
Art History VS Sound History
What do I know about Art History? Well I know there's a bunch of art movements/eras like Dada, Surrealism, Post-Impressionism, Futurism just to name a few.
Sound History however, I do not know much of. I found sound history particularly interesting after reading a text from this link: Sound.
If I were to compare, according to the text, Sound, (more specifically stringed music) has been identified at the 6th BC whilst art actually started off as early as the prehistoric eras. Its more so an evolution process of discovery.
Through readings, art evolves from an end of a particular movement. It does evolve quite drastically at times. Sound history develops and grows from one historian to another having separate and individual epiphanies which contributes to the exploration of Sound.
Famous people of sound history include:
Aristotle
Pollio
Christian Doppler
and Webber
