PHOTOGRAPHY

I. “From today painting is dead!” declared the French painter Paul Delaroche [,delə'rɒʃ] in 1839, the year a process for making photographic images was discovered. Delaroche voiced the expectations of many: that the camera’s ability to capture in an instant every detail of the real world would spell the end of painting and drawing, and that photography was the art of the future. At the same time the opposing camp claimed that photography

was a science, not an art – a mechanical process that could never compete with the sensitive hand of the painter in feeling or expression.

II. Since 1839 photography has become part of our life, it is widely used in science, medicine, anthropology, geography, journalism, advertising – but its close relationship with art has continued.

In the early 20th century the famous American photographer Alfred Stieglitz ['sti:glɪts] (1864–1946) put forward the idea of “pure” photography with aesthetic value beyond its descriptive or utilitarian function. This modernist view influenced a generation of photographers. While many Americans found inspiration in nature, in Europe photography celebrated the rhythm and speed of modern society, the dynamism of the machine age.

At the same time a certain group of photographers found the unexpected in the commonplace. For example, a plant seen close up looks machine-made, and a street scene from above becomes an almost abstract pattern: ordinary things are transformed by a point of view.

Many photographers now regarded as great masters would never have thought of themselves as artists at all. Their aim was to document the life they saw around them. Recording the lives of common people, they created powerful and dignified images that spoke about the problems of the society they lived in, about human suffering and hope.

In the second half of the 20th century photography and art became more closely connected. Pop artists like Andy Warhol ['wɒ:hɒʊl] (1928–87) often used photographic images and concepts in their work.

In recent years, many photographers have turned their attention from the world “out there” to express themselves by staging their own events, constructing their own images for the camera, inviting us to the private world of their imagination.

Решение 2.

47. A. Прочтите первую часть текста "Фотография" и скажите, считаете ли вы фотографию искусством. Обсудите это. Затем прочтите вторую часть текста и скажите, изменилось ли ваше мнение или получило подтверждение. B. Дайте названия двум частям текста.

Ответ:

A. After reading the first part of the text, I was hesitant to call photography an art. It seemed more like a technical process of capturing reality, as the text mentioned the "opposing camp" believed. However, after reading the second part, my opinion that photography is an art form has been strongly supported. The text explains how photographers like Alfred Stieglitz focused on aesthetic value, how others find abstract beauty in everyday objects, and how modern photographers even construct their own images. This shows that photography is not just about recording what exists, but about the artist's vision, interpretation, and creation, which is the essence of art.
Прочитав первую часть текста, я сомневался, можно ли назвать фотографию искусством. Она казалась скорее техническим процессом фиксации реальности, как считал, согласно тексту, "противоположный лагерь". Однако после прочтения второй части мое мнение о том, что фотография является видом искусства, получило веское подтверждение. В тексте объясняется, как фотографы, такие как Альфред Стиглиц, сосредотачивались на эстетической ценности, как другие находят абстрактную красоту в повседневных объектах, и как современные фотографы даже создают свои собственные изображения. Это показывает, что фотография — это не просто запись существующего, а видение, интерпретация и творчество художника, что и является сущностью искусства.

B. Possible names for the two parts of the text:
Part I: Art or Science? An Early Debate.
Part II: The Evolution of Photography as an Art Form.
Возможные названия для двух частей текста:
Часть I: Искусство или наука? Первоначальные споры.
Часть II: Эволюция фотографии как вида искусства.
