Paul Getty Trust (84.XM.893.1) Getty curatorial note: William Henry Fox Talbot's image of a graceful and heroic oak tree, one of the first images to be fixed with a "hypo" solution, represents a pivotal development in the history of photography. In 1839 Talbot made public his process for fixing images on paper treated with silver chloride. He fixed his original images, however, with a salt that did not actually remove the silver chloride, leaving the image unstable and still sensitive to light. In 1841, the year this picture was taken, he began printing more stable images by using a fixing agent called "hypo," which thoroughly removed the silver chloride. Although the fuzziness of Talbot's first prints made his images in some ways less pleasing than the exactness of a daguerreotype, the process did allow multiple positive images to be created from a single negative. In this regard, Talbot's discoveries represent the origin of modern photography.

Paul Getty Trust (84.XP.362.3) Curatorial description This softly rendered view of marshy ponds by André Giroux owes much of its character to Giroux's training as a painter. Seeking to obliterate any evidence of photography's mechanical nature, he achieved the photograph's softened edges and atmospheric haziness by drawing and scratching on the negative. This technique is a variation of cliché-verre (literally, "glass negative"), a method of painting onto a transparent support and using it to print a positive image. Instead of starting with a blank piece of glass, Giroux worked directly on the photographic negative. He created a Romantic, idyllic landscape in the tradition of the Barbizon school of landscape painting, full of nostalgia and sympathy for the French countryside. (Alan Griffiths, 15 July 2015 based on information from Xavier Martel, FB) Since the 19th century the location has been written Optevoz. Optevoz is a commune in the Isère department in southeastern France. |
