| dbo:abstract | Steel: Armco, Middletown, Ohio is a black and white photograph taken by American photographer Edward Weston in 1922. The picture has the dimensions of 23 by 17,4 cm. Weston wrote on his journals, which he began writing in the Fall of 1922 while in a trip to visit his sister Mary Seaman in Ohio, about how the industrial landscape of Armco impressed and inspired him, in particular the “great plant and giant stacks of the American Rolling Mill Company”. He took five or six photographs at the site in October 1922, being this one of the most famous. Weston went to show Alfred Stieglitz some of the pictures that he took in Armco, which impressed him very positively, sensing in it modernist tendencies. These photographs were instrumental in the evolution of Weston's photography from his recent pictorialism work to what would be a more modern approach to this art, through straight photography. Weston was also influenced by his meeting with Austrian architect Rudolph Schindler and by the readings of several avant-garde European art magazines. The series of photographs that he took in Armco were essential in his changing of style. Like he stated: he was “ripe to change, was changing, yes changed.” He brought these set of pictures when he moved to Mexico City, in Mexico, where he lived with Italian photographer and actress Tina Modotti, and they were inspirational for the new work that he would make in that staying. He kept them at his studio, alongside a Japanese print and a Pablo Picasso print. When Weston moved back to the United States, this print remained with Modotti, until her death in 1942. There are prints of the photograph at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York, George Eastman House, in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, in Ottawa, and at the Museo de Arte Moderno, in Mexico City. (en) Steel: Armco, Middletown, Ohio é uma foto em preto e branco tirada pelo fotógrafo americano Edward Weston em 1922. A imagem tem as dimensões de 23 por 17,4 cm. Weston escreveu em seus diários, que começou a escrever no outono de 1922, durante uma viagem para visitar sua irmã Mary Seaman em Ohio, sobre como a paisagem industrial de Armco o impressionou e inspirou, em particular a “grande fábrica e pilhas gigantes de a American Rolling Mill Company ”. Ele tirou cinco ou seis fotos no local em outubro de 1922, sendo esta uma das mais famosas. Weston foi mostrar a Alfred Stieglitz algumas das fotos que ele tirou em Armco, que o impressionaram muito positivamente, sentindo nele tendências modernistas. Essas fotos foram fundamentais na evolução da fotografia de Weston, desde seu recente trabalho de pictorialismo até o que seria uma abordagem mais moderna dessa arte, por meio da fotografia direta . Weston também foi influenciado por seu encontro com o arquiteto austríaco Rudolph Schindler e pelas leituras de várias revistas de arte europeias de vanguarda. As séries de fotos que tirou na Armco foram essenciais para a sua mudança de estilo. Como ele afirmou: ele estava “maduro para mudar, estava mudando, sim mudou”. Ele trouxe esse conjunto de fotos quando se mudou para a Cidade do México, no México, onde morou com a fotógrafa e atriz italiana Tina Modotti, e foram inspiradores para o novo trabalho que faria naquela estadia. Ele os mantinha em seu estúdio, ao lado de uma gravura japonesa e uma gravura de Pablo Picasso. Quando Weston voltou para os Estados Unidos, esta impressão permaneceu com Modotti, até seu falecimento em 1942. Há gravuras da foto no Museum of Modern Art, em Nova York, George Eastman House, em Rochester, na National Gallery of Canada, em Ottawa, e no Museo de Arte Moderno, na Cidade do México. (pt) |
