deliveries in our past two issues we have dealt with insistence, the photograph of Emiliano Zapata in the hotel Moctezuma, and photographs by Hugo Brehme during the Mexican Revolution, both closely related.
There is no clear explanation of why in a moment the photograph was credited to Brehme Zapata, appearing to be an arbitrary decision, then dispose of its portfolio in a manner not entirely convincing. Within the corpus
accredited Brehme, there are other pictures of Zapata, or related to its presence in the hotel made Moctezuma, and very probably all belong to the same historical moment ...
Zapata's photograph in the hotel Moctezuma, is not a simple image, and the statement did not take into account the value iconographic currently holds. As regards the large set of images created during the Mexican Revolution, this is equipped with a special rare. It is created like a painting, is created conceptually and artistically, it is left to chance, not a snapshot.
The subtlety of its elements, the grace of his composition, and depth of its meaning, whether the current or the time of its creation, leading to the degree of "masterpiece" to a "work of art. " There
donkey play the flute ... and in areas such as contemporary music artists see the existence of a one hit ...
In my point of view, is not the case, the unknown photographer of which only have a work have to rule, you need a technical operator and intellectually gifted. Is too complex to simply be random. Recently attributed to analyze a photograph taken Brehme in the port of Veracruz with a similar complexity, a seemingly haphazard staging is reinterpreted unconsciously, through the cultural background in a few seconds to capture it artistically composed, is an eye trained visual hunter, and a sensitive spirit. That, even with innate talent, can only be achieved with the daily actions of the experience, what we call "expertise."
take another case:
At first it seems an image dark and confusing in its content, does not hit all at once as it could be a landscape or a portrait, this motley element and is just that your point interesting format zip.
what is where, when, and why?
looks like a photo lab, there are cameras, tripods, chassis, frames, photographs, chemical, etc., And two people involved at work, one observes a negative leaning on the light reflected from a mirror, the other is filling what looks like a book.
Who is the lab?
The image at first glance can be deceiving, and reflective analysis can only give an approximation to the truth. On the left side wall is a dark box with digital manipulation and working with a very good resolution copy of recovering some of its contents: "English Hotel" ...
So this is not a laboratory not in the strict sense, is a mobile laboratory installed in a hotel room, again ask where. Let us take another track, among things grouped in the bottom left clearly recognize a picture of Venustiano Carranza, through a door we can glimpse another room, giving us a chair on her face a portrait of Álvaro Obregón. In November 1914, Carranza holds a conference at the French Hotel de Orizaba, with the commissioners of the Convention including Obregon Orizaba Hotel was also a English ... you can try to contemporary circumstances.
There is a section of the symbolic image of a very particular, three boxes form a triangle, its base resting to the horizontal. The lower left box Carranza is the portrait, mounted in a frame of dark color warp. The bottom right is an empty frame, probably gold, through it we see two chassis for 8x10 negatives. The third box at the top is a portrait of Obregón, unframed partially corrugated paper between rolls, or perhaps other impressions.
can be a haphazard composition, may be intentionally, but in one way or another bring together the heart of the whole image is the central element compositional triangle, so the picture is taken. The Devil's advocate might argue, just trying on the flash ...
With information at our disposal in 2010, we interpret in a given visual set in 1914 what was intended. The gold frame is Bacchante, representing the presidency ... if Obregon in the dark but well placed in the chair ... Carranza is framed in black ... a premonition ...
We can find many more elements and relate to each other, in the left is a table with bottles of chemicals and a picture with gymnasts, or Greco-Roman wrestlers, the triangle we can transform into diamond with a portfolio in the lower corner, shapes, size, elements, position, motion guidance , areas compositional intentions space, etc.
the same way that a text we can interpret and reinterpret independently of its creator, including extracting information that the writer did not swear that there, given that much artistic expression is dominated by the unconscious, expounding on ease, so a picture, painting, sketching, drawing, photography, film or even sculpture, is subject to the same treatment, we do not intend to make this philosophy of any image, as you can not get any papers.
Today begins to give a value of historical documents to photography, and not merely illustration, to transform the image into the document we need her to talk and therefore the creator of simple photographer can transform a historian, or intellectual. Not only as recently mentioned, "the photographer taking sides", some had the ability to express themselves politically through photographs. Having a difference between a photographer taking sides for economic reasons, friendship, or chance to be trapped in a zone of influence, and so who went from being a spectator agrees to participate with their own tools ...
Miguel Angel Berumen historian in his book "1911, the Battle of Ciudad Juárez" analyzes a picture taken in front of the adobe house, Madero and his caretaker cabinet, flame staging ... he or photographers are just tools or have the ability to determine the action.
Just as an architect was commissioned a work, giving you a list of needs and areas of employment, as in the field, and he makes the decision on how to shape it. Could well occur with the photograph, or occurred. Francisco I. Madero was able to distinguish the benefits of advertising images, while wary of photographers who not only saw everything ... I also heard, and could interpret a glance, a gesture, the attitude body, the position of things, to the clear dark.
The aim of reflection is to expose other photographer, acting, voice, with artistic and intellectual creativity. Surely needed to survive a rigorous moral code, as a psychologist, a lawyer, or priest in confession. One type of photographer who can not be called "apolitical", but sometimes could be a skilled political analyst more than militant.
many of them had they acted with such freedom, do not know, but there is evidence of more than one.
We have not mentioned the author of the picture Lab: Aurelio Escobar Castellanos.
