August Sander Archive
The August Sander Archive () comprises the estate of the German photographer August Sander and is part of the collection of Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur, in Cologne. The photographic work has been kept there since 1993 with a large number of original photographs, negatives and documents. History When August Sander died in 1964, his son, Gunther Sander, took control of the estate. After his death in 1987, his son Gerd Sander managed the artistic legacy before he sold it to the Kulturstiftung der Stadtsparkasse Köln (now SK Stiftung Kultur der Sparkasse Köln Bonn) in December 1992, equating it with the name August Sander Archive. Since then, the estate, and thus the August Sander Archive, has been looked after by the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur in Cologne and processed from an academic museum perspective. All rights of use existing on August Sander's work have been transferred to Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur. These are he ...

Art Museum

It might be in public or private ownership and may be accessible to all or have restrictions in place.

Art museums also frequently host themed temporary exhibitions, which often include items on loan from other collections. Terminology An institution dedicated to the display of art can be called an art museum or an art gallery, and the two terms may be used interchangeably.

Biographical Museums In Germany
A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life. It involves more than just the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death; it portrays a person's experience of these life events. Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae (résumé), a biography presents a subject's life story, highlighting various aspects of their life, including intimate details of experience, and may include an analysis of the subject's personality. Biographical works are usually non-fiction, but fiction can also be used to portray a person's life. One in-depth form of biographical coverage is called legacy writing. Works in diverse media, from literature to film, form the genre known as biography. An authorized biography is written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of a subject or a subject's heirs. An autobiography is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or ghostwriter. History At first, biogra ...

Photography Museums And Galleries In Germany
Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication. Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure. With an electronic image sensor, this produces an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing. The result with photographic emulsion is an invisible latent image, which is later chemically "developed" into a visible image, either negative or positive, depending on the purp ...

Photo Archives In Germany
A photograph (also known as a photo, image, or picture) is an image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image sensor, such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are now created using a smartphone/camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process and practice of creating such images is called photography. Etymology The word ''photograph'' was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek φῶς (''phos''), meaning "light," and γραφή (''graphê''), meaning "drawing, writing," together meaning "drawing with light." History The first permanent photograph, a contact-exposed copy of an engraving, was made in 1822 using the bitumen-based "heliography" process developed by Nicéphore Niépce. The first photographs of a real-world scene, made using a camera obscura, followed a few years later at Le Gras, Fra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jim Dine
Jim Dine (born June 16, 1935 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American artist whose œuvre extends over sixty years. Dine’s work includes painting, drawing, printmaking (in many forms including lithographs, etchings, gravure, intaglio, woodcuts, letterpress and linocuts), sculpture and photography; his early works encompassed assemblage and happenings, while in recent years his poetry output, both in publications and readings, has increased. Dine has been associated with many art movements including Neo-Dada (use of collage and found objects), Abstract Expressionism (the gestural nature of his painting), and Pop Art (affixing everyday objects including tools, rope, articles of clothing and even a bathroom sink) to his canvases, yet he has avoided such classifications. At the core of his art, regardless of the medium of the specific work, lies an intense autobiographical reflection, a relentless exploration and criticism of self through a number of personal motifs including: the h ...

Karl Blossfeldt
Karl Blossfeldt (June 13, 1865December 9, 1932) was a German photographer and sculptor. He is best known for his close-up photographs of plants and living things, published in 1929 as ''Urformen der Kunst''.

Among his contacts at the Berlin Arts and Crafts School was Heinz Warneke. From 1923, he was professor at the ''Vereinigte Staatsschulen für Freie und Angewandte Kunst'' (United State Schools for Fine and Applied Art) in Berlin, Germany. He died aged 67.
