Stephen Bann, 2004 Getty Lecturer, professor of history of art at the University of Bristol and a fellow of the British Academy, delivers the second in a three part lecture series.
As part of the annual Getty lecture series, Bann discusses the development of photography and the complex issues of aura, identity and value that traverse the entire range of image production during this crucial period.
The material under review includes wood-block images published during the emergence of the mass circulation illustrated magazine in France.
The lectures also address the issues of Salon criticism and Salon painting and give consideration to the rising reputation of a masterpiece, in the light of the sequence of reproductive engravings derived from it.
In 2001 Bann was a Visiting Fellow at the Clark Institute and a Visiting Professor at the Aby Warburg Stiftung. Recently, Bann was named a Mellon Senior Fellow at the Canadian Centre for Architecture as well as a Visiting Professor at the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art in Paris.
Published by Yale University Press in 2001, Bann's most recent book, Parallel Lines, explores the intersection of painting, printmaking and photography in France during the nineteenth century.
