Mordançage
Mordançage is an alternative photographic process that alters silver gelatin prints to give them a degraded effect. The mordançage solution works in two ways: it chemically bleaches the print so that it can be redeveloped, and it lifts the black areas of the emulsion away from the paper giving the appearance of veils. Once the emulsion is lifted, it can then be removed or manipulated depending on the desired outcome. Areas where the emulsion was removed appear to be in relief. These prints can become oxidized during their creation, further altering the tonality of the image. History Mordançage was created by Jean-Pierre Sudre during the 1960s. While he is credited with the creation of Mordançage, it is based on a late 19th-century process known as etch-bleach. This process has also been referred to as bleach-etch, gelatin relief, or reverse relief. Etch-bleach was first documented in 1897 by Paul Liesegang and was originally used as a reversal process for film negatives. Wit ...

Jean-Pierre Sudre
Jean-Pierre Sudre (; September 27, 1921 – September 6, 1997) was a commercial photographer. Biography Sudre was born in Paris but later moved to the south of France. There he devoted his life to workshops of fine art photography. Photography Sudre's subject-matter was mainly the still-life and figure. He is best known for his experimentation with chemicals, and is credited with the creation of Mordançage (tr. 'etching', ' scouring'), though he built the process on the film reversal technique first documented in 1897 by Paul Liesegang and known as etch-bleach, bleach-etch, gelatin relief, or reverse relief. Recognition On its foundation in 1952, Sudre was invited to become the honorary president of Les 30 x 40, Club Photographique de Paris in 1957 Sudre was awarded the Golden Lion, Lion d'Or at the first Biennale Internationale de la Photographie at Venice, Italy. In 1970, at the invitation of writer Michel Tournier, Sudre participated in the first Rencontres d'Arles as a gu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Self Portrait (8618889472)
A self-portrait is a representation of an artist that is drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by that artist. Although self-portraits have been made since the earliest times, it is not until the Early Renaissance in the mid-15th century that artists can be frequently identified depicting themselves as either the main subject, or as important characters in their work. With better and cheaper mirrors, and the advent of the panel painting, panel portrait, many painters, sculptors and printmakers tried some form of self-portraiture. ''Portrait of a Man in a Turban'' by Jan van Eyck of 1433 may well be the earliest known panel self-portrait. He painted a separate portrait of his wife, and he belonged to the social group that had begun to commission portraits, already more common among wealthy Netherlanders than south of the Alps. The genre is venerable, but not until the Renaissance, with increased wealth and interest in the individual as a subject, did it become truly popular.
