Syntax and desire in early landscape photography
Goldschmidt, Lilith; Klein, Susanne
Abstract
With the invention of photography, landscape photography was born. For the first time, it was possible to depict the 'truth of nature'. Some English photographers chose the syntax of European landscape paintings to capture bucolic scenes, idealizing a world endangered by the industrial revolution and social changes, others saw nature as a manifestation of the divine and transformed mere scenery into a moral landscape by using symbolism well known to the audience of that time. Capturing sheer wilderness was an American invention. The photographs taken by surveyors of the American West not only showed a completely new style but had also the purpose to serve as a guide to new lands to be conquered.
