Description |
Photograph of a beach umbrella, closed and leaning against a corner. The umbrella and wall are partially lit by a bright light source, while the rest of the scene is darkened by shadows. Ann Stautberg's work is informed by a long history of traditional documentary photography. However, Stautberg also lends her own personal style to her photographs by hand-manipulating each work so as to embed each image with an individual touch. Stautberg hand-colors her black and white images with photographic oils and sometimes printing photographs on canvas and hand-painting them, allowing the artist to combine her interest in documentary photography with her love of painting. The practice of hand-coloring black and white photographs reaches back to the nineteenth century and the beginnings of photography itself, before color film was invented. |
