Art and Photography Design Templates

Art & photography have combined to create one of the greatest forms of visual arts known to man. Art is the expression of creativity, and with the invention of photography, art took a new form. Art & photography have become intertwined in American culture. Every day we see the effects of art and photography in the media. Every magazine cover, every Pulitzer Prize winning photo, and every Academy award winning film is an extension of art & photography.

Characteristic traits of art include a creative perception by both the audience and the artist. This is clearly expressed when looking at art & photography. True art is open to many interpretations, and this is evident when examining the interrelationship between art & photography.

In fact the term “photography” comes from two Greek words, phos and graphe.
The definition of phos means light and the Greek word graphe means paintbrush. Together, photography is painting or drawing with light.

The notion of whether or not art & photography are the same has been debated for over a century. Much of the debate rests in the question is photography a true representation of creativity, or is it just capturing a still picture of life. Alfred Stieglitz the famous photographer, who was married to Georgia O’Keefe, spent most of his fifty year long career working to establish the fact that photography was accepted as a bona fide art form.

The saying goes that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” and the same can be said about art. In my opinion, if you take a look at Steglitz’ photographs, there is no denying that this is truly art in its prime.

Fortunately, today the relationship between art & photography is clearly recognized by art connoisseurs worldwide.
