theoretical debate on the photo: art or simple mechanical?
" I believe that art is and can not be anything but an exact reproduction of nature photography ... then must go to his real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts "
C. Baudelaire
Other authors, as Baudelaire, believed it was necessary to separate art and industry : also believed that photography could take upon itself all the social and utilitarian functions hitherto exercised by the painting.
The distinction, however, remained clear: the documentary function of photography and referential to the formal research and artistic painting.
In contrast, defenders of the manipulative skills of photography show which artists can use photography to make the image independent of reality.
artists such as Umberto Eco, Roland Barthes and Damisch, supporters of photographic practice, questioned the supposed objectivity of photography.
For example Damisch said:
" 's adventure begins with the first photograph of human attempts to keep an image that he had learned to be a long time. This long familiarity with the image obtained in this way explains how the photographic representation seemed generally to go by itself and that do not pay attention to its highly developed ..... The photographic image does not have any natural element as the principles guiding the construction of a camera linked to a conventional notion of space and objectivity. "
