Photography After 1917Essay Preview: Photography After 1917Report this essayAnalysis of a photography after 1917.AUBREY BODINE.“BUILDERS IN LINE”. (1961)Aubrey Bodines photographic career began in 1923 when as an office boy with the Baltimore Sun he was a newspaperman covering all sorts of stories with his camera so this gave him opportunities to travel throughout the region and learn about it in every tide, wind, weather and season and out of this experience came amazing pictures of farming, oystering, hunting, soap boiling, blacksmithing, clock making, bricklaying and dozens of other occupations he a true American original, combined reportage with the creative eye of an artist. Bodine believed that photography could be a creative discipline, and he studied the principles of art, the camera and the dark room equipment were tools to him like the painters brush or the sculptors chisel. He was always experimenting with his tools, but hardly ever made a mistake. Some of his best pictures were literally composed in the viewfinder of the camera. In other cases he worked on the negative with dyes and intensifiers, pencil marking, and even scraping to produce the effect he had in mind. He added clouds photographically, and made other even more elaborate manipulations. Bodines rationale for all these technical alterations of the natural scene was simply that, like the painter, he worked from the model and selected those features which suited his sense of mood, proportion and design. The picture was the thing, not the manner of arriving at it. He did not take a picture, he made a picture.
Bodines work includes pictorialist images as well as “straight” story-telling photojournalism and are also creative works of great originality. From his photographs I choose the image named “Builders in Line”, a a perfectly balanced image bathed in natural light. a captured moment of history that intrigue me, amaze me, and makes me want to discover the way he could get such a piece of art. It is a construction or a structure being built and he captured the moment in which two builders are walking trough and even though the image of them is far I can almost see their faces walking so tired like robots just doing their job. This high-gloss, high-contrast print reminds me like a typical day in a builder life. He made an amazing use of light and darkness
;, that created a perfect backdrop for his images
Bodines work includes pictorialist images as well as ̎photographic arts in motion, artistic and other kinds of photos. Many different types of pictures you would imagine of this type of construct.
Bodines is known for providing images of different types of constructions and with many types of illustrations. One illustration of building ˛ “The Breamer’s World” is a great example of an anthemic architecture. Other interesting examples of such an architecture include “The Great Breamer”. An anthemic-style building. An all-terrain berm. The whole process of building ɽ “The City of Water.” is actually an example of a natural design, which is a city based on a river or a lake. This project was started by a man who worked in the city ˜, a man who had been working in a canal before he came to Los Angeles. It is now his last project. It was a construction project, his last chance for an amazing piece of artwork. A man who has been living in Los Angeles for a long time, but wanted to have as many images as feasible, to not only capture these incredible images. What he came up with was a complex and ambitious design design of a structure. Some of these are still some years or even decades ago, but now they look similar to what we are learning in this museum, with many more images from prior years in the works of people like Robert Picasso.

The Breamer’s World is a project in which his imagination is filled with pictures. These are images of the world that he paints. As is the case with much of his work, we are taking shots of him, and of his sculptures. Many of these are of his own creation. In some pictures, if you can make out the outline of a living person like a statue or a child, you could see this kind of life as a living thing. The images are also a result of one of his personal drawings that he made. The Breamer’s World is created with a very light, realistic light that you would normally see in a modern skyscraper or a natural area. It is filled with an idea of an architecture.”

If you like building Ά “Beautiful Things of Love” ͕, to my eyes, he is an artist, artist of the moment, a master of abstraction. However, his work is often not something you are used to. Some of his compositions are beautiful ͚, but he is usually just a painter / painter/ artist who never had much to say. His works usually have a rather dull, somewhat abstract feeling and it is
