Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>My culminating thesis is a combination of my own creative work in black and white photography along with research and writing on the topic of “reflections’’ in selected examples from art history. My photography is a two year culmination of working in the dark room, developing and printing, through the use of traditional techniques, a series of thirty-five images that relate to my research on “reflections” as an art historical subject. This photographic study examines the theme of reflections through the use of light: sunlight, mirrors, metal, glass and water. My written thesis discusses the seventeenth century Dutch and Flemish masters and their influence on French painter Jean Bapiste Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) of the eighteenth century. It also considers several twentieth century black and white photographers, Imogen Cunningham (1883-1976), Edward Weston (1886-1958) and Irving Penn (1917-2009), whose still life works, as well as my own, focus on the theme oi “reflections.</p>
