    Please answer questions below from my lectures:

    1. Who were Charles Marville and Eugene Atget, and why was their work integral in Paris?

    Charles Marville is primarily known for documenting the transformation of Paris from a medieval city to a
    modern one through a deries of images of old neighborhoods lost due to urban renewal. From 1862, as official
    photographer for the city of Paris, he documented aspects of the radical modernization program that had been
    launched by Emperador Napoleon III and his chief urban planner, Barion Geirges- Eugene Haussmann.

    2. In terms of the Dada art movement, what is a “Readymade?”

    The term readymade was first used by French artist Marcel Duchamp to describe the works of art he made from
    manufactured objects. It has since often been applied more generally to artworks by other artists made in this
    way.

    Duchamps’ “Readymades” disrupted centuries of thinking about the artist´s role as a skilled creator of original
    handmade objects

    3. Man Ray used a process called “solarization,” what is it and how does the image look once completed?

    The solarization is the technique was discovered accidentally by Man Ray and Lee Miller and quickly adopted
    by Man Ray as a means to 'escape from banality'. Man Ray began to employ solarization, which created an
    uncanny effect by overexposing a print or negative while it was being processed causing the tones to be
    reversed. Solarization is a phenomenon in photography in which the image recorded on a negative or on a
    photographic print is wholly or partially reversed in tone. Dark areas appear light or light areas appear dark.

    4. Who is Andre Kertesz, and what kind of images did he produce?


    André Kertész was a Hungarian-born photographer best known for his lyrical, elegant and formally rigorous
    style. One of the most inventive photographers of the twentieth-century. He was drawn to the streets of Paris,
    particularly its circuses, fairs, and flea markets. He is well known for taking straight compositions from real life.
    he captured the poetry of modern urban life with its quiet, often overlooked incidents and odd, occasionally
    comic, or even bizarre juxtapositions. Kertész was highly regarded as a still-life photographer. Nothing was too
    ordinary for his lens since he did not document so much as interpret what was in front of him. He composed
    many still lifes with the aim of transforming the mundane - such as utensils, eyeglasses and pipes - into
    something ethereal and poetic
