CONTEXTUAL STUDIES: RESEARCH

Evidence of research notes and their use for Assignment 2

Some topic areas suggested by Tutor but most resources found or revisited myself. See scans of my notes at the end.

These gave me an overview on tensions between artistic expression and photography to document:

Then I researched White and Berger further:

And refreshed myself on Berger’s ideas and other ways of seeing:

I began to find research on John Blakemore:

Badger, G. (1977) ‘Introduction’ In: British Image 3: John Blakemore: Exhibition. London: Arts Council. pp.7–10.

Then returned to researching Minor White in more depth:

Szarkowski, J. (1970) Mirrors Messages Manifestations. In: The New York Times 08/03/1970 At: https://www.nytimes.com/1970/03/08/archives/mirrors-messages-manifestations-mirrors-american-manhattan.html (Accessed 21/04/2022).
