Studebaker Commander

Studebaker was one of the very first to market with a brand-new car after World War II, which sent shockwaves through the American auto industry, making even the Big Three scramble to lead the pack. But, having barely survived a bankruptcy during the 1930s, Studebaker was acutely aware that it would be extremely hard-pressed to beat the Big Three at sales—as such, the company sought to be an engineering, styling and technology leader. As the 1950s began, Studebaker started falling behind again and needed a smash hit.

Designer Raymond Loewy and Robert Bourke worked together to create a sleek, low-slung vehicle that would look like nothing coming out of Detroit. Shown as a coupe and sedan, Studebaker immediately adopted the design and predicted the sedan would take 75% of the sales while the coupe would absorb 25%. Interestingly, the coupe was meant as more of a styling exercise for a potential concept car of the future, but Studebaker’s board wanted both. The new Studebaker would stun the market with its smaller design, rakish lines and clean overall look. Sadly, it wouldn’t sell as well as the company had hoped for a variety of reasons, and the coupe outsold the sedan, creating production problems and slowing public confidence even more. For 1955, the company went all out with a restyled front end, new paint options and more brightwork to better compete against the likes of the Big Three and their seeming obsession with chrome.

Studebaker also corrected quality control issues and build concerns and offered a wider range of options including power steering, power brakes and a power seat—V-8 cars could even have air conditioning. All things told, things should have been looking up, but sales still lagged. Fitted with a matching-numbers 259/185 HP HiPo V-8 engine and an automatic transmission, this Commander also boasts a pushbutton radio, leather interior .

Car Spot: 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk

The story of a classic automotive underdog. The Studebaker Golden Hawk is this week's car spot.

Cool came too late for this car company … Being an AMC geek I’m a big fan of underdog car companies and Indiana-based Studebaker is one for sure. Studebaker and Packard merged in 1954 in an effort to survive, but the lack of resources and revenue only fueled the company’s continued decline. Just when it looked like Studebaker would never recapture its “golden touch” enter the Golden…

Nina Leen (born 1914, died January 1, 1995) was an American photographer born in the Russian Empire. She was a constant contributor to Life. She is remembered above all for her photographs of animals, many published in book form, as well as her portraits. Via Wikipedia

Hedda Sterne (August 4, 1910 – April 8, 2011) was a Romanian-born American artist who was an active member of the New York School of painters. Her work is often associated with Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism. She was also the only woman to appear in the famous photograph of abstract expressionist artists dubbed "The Irascibles", although the group included other women.

Margaret Bourke-White (/ˈbɜːrk/; June 14, 1904 – August 27, 1971) was an American photographer and documentary photographer. She was arguably best known as the first foreign photographer permitted to take pictures of Soviet industry under the Soviets' first five-year plan, as the first American female war photojournalist, and for taking the photograph (of the construction of Fort Peck Dam) that became the cover of the first issue of Life magazine.

La fotografia documentaria come forma d’arte (sesta parte)

La fotografia umanista

di Lorenzo Ranzato

Introduzione

Con questo articolo completiamo il nostro racconto sul vasto mondo della fotografia documentaria, affrontando il significativo capitolo della fotografia umanista. Com’è facile intuire, la selezione degli argomenti e degli autori trattati è stata del tutto personale: quindi una scelta selettiva e parziale, che trascura inevitabilmente molti altri fenomeni del documentarismo che si sono manifestati nella seconda metà del ‘900.[1]

Come abbiamo visto, questo importante filone della fotografia del ‘900 si afferma a partire dagli anni ‘30, con un comune filo conduttore che può essere ben riassunto in questa frase: “il desiderio di vedere qualcosa riconosciuto come una realtà”[2]. Come ci segnala David Bate, questa aspirazione o volontà di raccontare in modo diretto (straight photography) il reale in tutte le sue manifestazioni “può includere approcci differenti, dove la verità è valutata in termini di interpretazione e rappresentazione”.

In effetti, seguendo il suo ragionamento, possiamo riconoscere all’interno del genere documentario la presenza di due tendenze diverse che si relazionano con il reale in modo oggettivo oppure soggettivo.[3]

A grandi linee, avremo un tipo di fotografia oggettiva o descrittiva che tende a porre un filtro tra fotografo e soggetto, cercando di mantenersi in una posizione neutrale senza farsi coinvolgere all’interno della scena ripresa. Questo tipo di fotografia è comune ad autori che abbiamo già conosciuto nelle precedenti puntate e che si esprimono con modalità espressive diverse: ci riferiamo a fotografi come Albert Renger-Patzsch o August Sander, oppure ai fotografi del Gruppo f/64.

1-Cartier-Bresson, foto da Images à la Sauvette 1952, “il libro” per eccellenza secondo Federico Scianna

Diversamente, la fotografia soggettiva o espressiva non pone barriere tra il fotografo e il soggetto, anzi vuole entrare dentro le cose che desidera raccontare, cercando di coinvolgere lo spettatore nella narrazione, pubblica o privata che sia. In questo filone molto variegato possiamo riconoscere le esperienze del documentario sociale (in particolare quella della Farm Security Administration) e più in generale quelle del fotogiornalismo – da Robert Capa, il più famoso fotoreporter di guerra, alla Bourke-Withe -, sino ad abbracciare la stagione d’oro della fotografia umanista che si afferma come “la tendenza dominante del documentario postbellico”[4].

A conclusione di questo breve riepilogo, segnaliamo che sul sito di Fotopadova è presente un contributo in due puntate di Guillaume Blanc, La storia della fotografia documentaria, tradotto e pubblicato da Gustavo Millozzi (a cui dedichiamo questo articolo). Una sua consultazione potrà essere utile per inquadrare l’argomento in una prospettiva temporale più allargata, che non solo riassume la storia del documentarismo sviluppatosi nel corso del ‘900, ma va anche alla ricerca dei precursori e di tutti quei fenomeni ragruppabili sotto l’etichetta di “documento”, che rappresenta fatti o persone reali oppure descrive avvenimenti storici.[5]

La fotografia umanista

“L'oggetto della fotografia è l'uomo, l'uomo e la sua vita breve, fragile, minacciata”.

La frase di Henri Cartier-Bresson, registrata in un’intervista del 1951 viene generalmente considerata da molti studiosi un modo per definire “la fotografia umanista”.[6]

2-Innamorati per le vie di Parigi, foto di Doisneau, Boubat e Izis.

In realtà, questo filone della fotografia soggettiva/espressiva, nasce all’interno del milieu fotografico francese degli anni ’30, dove un nutrito gruppo di fotografi condivide un comune interesse per l’uomo e le sue vicende di vita quotidiana. Particolarmente attenti alla vita della città, ci restituiscono “le figure di un’umanità autentica e sincera: uomini semplici, lavoratori e le loro famiglie di ceti modesti, bambini ricchi della loro innocenza e spontaneità solitaria, o coppie di innamorati rese migliori dalla forza dei loro sentimenti”.[7]

3-Brassaï, Paris de nuit, libro sulla vita notturna parigina.

La maggior parte dei fotografi umanisti condivide la professione di “reporter-illustratore”, ma ciò non toglie che molti di loro raggiungano lo status di fotografi-autori, grazie all’editoria che costituisce la parte più gratificante del loro lavoro. Valga per tutti il famoso libro fotografico Paris de nuit (1933) del fotografo ungherese Brassaï, che si stabilisce a Parigi nel 1924 dove frequenta l’ambiente surrealista e conosce Picasso. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale “le flaneur des nuit de Paris” si trasformerà in un “globe-trotter”, grazie a una lunga e fruttuosa collaborazione con Harper’s Bazaar.[8]

4-Foto di bambini di Doisneau, Ronis, Izis e Boubat

Assieme a lui, ricordiamo i quattro più importanti rappresentanti della fotografia umanista francese: Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis, Izis e Édouard Boubat che hanno in comune un grande amore per la città di Parigi e per le sue strade che diventano la principale scenografia dei loro scatti. Soprattutto a partire dalla fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, trasmettono al mondo “une certaine idée de la France”, attratti da quanto c’è di incanto o di mistero nei fatti quotidiani oppure alla ricerca di temi cari ad altre arti quali le canzoni, il cinema, la poesia e la letteratura.[9]

5-Doisneau  Au Pont des Art 1953, Un regard oblique 1948

Ma per il pubblico restano due gli indiscussi protagonisti di quella stagione d’oro della fotografia: da un lato Robert Doisneau, con la sua visione del mondo romantica e compassionevole e il suo sguardo attento a cogliere lo spettacolo permanente della vita quotidiana, che trasforma le anonime persone della strada in attori naturali della commedia umana, trasfigurandoli spesso in figure fantastiche e oniriche [10]; dall’altro, Henri Cartier-Bresson, che nei diversi periodi della sua vita è sempre riuscito a rinnovare il suo sguardo sul mondo, tanto da essere definito l’occhio del secolo e considerato il massimo interprete del cosiddetto “realismo espressivo”, che si contraddistingue per la capacità di saper individuare e cogliere dentro il flusso ininterrotto del tempo l’istante decisivo.[11]

6- Cartier-Bresson, Hyères 1932, Ivry sur Seine 1955

Il movimento umanista inizia ad avere un certo seguito anche al di fuori della Francia a partire dagli anni ’50, come reazione al terribile dramma della seconda guerra mondiale, con la volontà di affermarsi nel resto del mondo come linguaggio universale accessibile a tutti.

Il movimento raggiunge il suo apice con la Mostra The Family of Man - organizzata da Edward Steichen al Museum of Modern Art di New York nel 1955 - che assume una risonanza planetaria, grazie ai suoi messaggi di fratellanza universale e di dignità dell’uomo, di speranza e di condivisione di un medesimo destino. È un progetto grandioso, costituito da 503 fotografie provenienti da 68 paesi diversi, che diventa la più grande manifestazione nella storia della fotografia e che verrà esposta negli anni successivi in molte parti del mondo.

7- The family of man, 1955

Alle fotografie di grandi autori come Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Édouard Boubat, Robert Capa, David Seymour, Bill Brandt, Elliott Erwitt, Eugene Smith, Robert Frank, August Sander, Sabine Waiss, Margaret Bourke-White, Richard Avedon, Garry Winogrand, si affiancano immagini di fotografi meno noti, mentre altre fotografie di Dorothea Lange e Russel Lee provengono dall’ archivio della Farm Security Administration, realizzato negli anni della Grande Depressione statunitense.

Come abbiamo già detto nell’introduzione, il movimento umanista diventa la principale espressione della fotografia a livello mondiale a cavallo degli anni ’50 e ’60, ma verrà ricordato anche come uno dei periodi più caratterizzanti della fotografia francese, che dagli anni ’30 fino agli anni ’60 ha avuto il suo centro indiscusso nella metropoli parigina.

8- The family of man, 1955

Gli anni del secondo dopoguerra sono caratterizzati da importanti trasformazioni politiche, sociali e culturali, dove il generale benessere dell’occidente, sostenuto dal boom economico, convive con “la guerra fredda” e il rischio nucleare. Ma già negli anni ’60 iniziano a manifestarsi fenomeni di crisi, alimentati anche dalla contestazione dei tradizionali valori borghesi da parte delle giovani generazioni in nome di una nuova ideologia libertaria: contestazione che raggiunge l’apice nel 1968, che verrà ricordato come l’anno delle grandi manifestazioni di piazza e degli scioperi dentro le fabbriche e le università. 

Nello stesso tempo, con l’affermarsi del pensiero liberale e il propagarsi di nuove forme di consumismo, al di là dell’oceano gli Stati Uniti acquisiscono progressivamente un ruolo egemone a livello mondiale, diventando la principale forza trainante dell’economia di mercato, che porterà a radicali cambiamenti anche in ambito culturale.

In particolare nel campo delle arti visive, assisteremo a un grande sviluppo dell’arte e della fotografia americana - inizialmente influenzate da quella europea - che nel corso del tempo si imporranno autonomamente a livello internazionale. Con lo sviluppo dell’Espressionismo astratto (in particolare l’Action painting di Jackson Pollock) e con l’affermarsi di una particolare forma di street photography tipicamente americana, si aprirà una nuova stagione per le arti visive caratterizzata da una radicale trasformazione dei linguaggi, che segnerà una forte discontinuità con il passato.

Anche il mondo della fotografia a cavallo fra gi anni ’50 e ’60 dovrà affrontare una vera e propria “rivoluzione visiva” attuata da Robert Frank con il suo libro The Americans: dalla critica Frank verrà considerato come l’anticipatore di un nuovo linguaggio che sovverte radicalmente i paradigmi che hanno contraddistinto l’estetica e le più tradizionali forme espressive della fotografia umanista, un linguaggio “informale” che ancor oggi possiamo riconoscere in molte manifestazioni della fotografia contemporanea.[12]

---- [1] Ci riferiamo in particolare a quanto già scritto in un mio precedente articolo pubblicato il 18 giugno 2021: I territori del “fotografico”: pittorialismo, documentarismo, concettualismo. Documentarismo va inteso nello specifico significato che gli attribuisce David Bate nel suo libro La fotografia d’arte, (Einaudi, 2018). Bate prova a reinterpretare il mondo della fotografia, della sua storia e dei suoi autori attraverso tre categorie del fotografico - pittorialismo, documentarismo e concettualismo -, entro le quali circoscrivere i diversi comportamenti della fotografia, così come si sono evoluti a partire dalle origini sino ai giorni nostri: comportamenti che di volta in volta hanno assunto proprie specificità linguistiche e poetiche e che, a mio avviso, in alcuni casi hanno avuto modo di contaminarsi o ibridarsi, soprattutto nella più recente fase della contemporaneità.

Alla fine, oltre ad un’ampia bibliografia, sono riportati alcuni testi e aforismi di HCB. Ricordiamo una delle sue celebri frasi: “Scattare una fotografia significa riconoscere, simultaneamente e in una frazione di secondo‚ sia il fatto stesso sia la rigorosa organizzazione delle forme visivamente percepite che gli conferiscono significato. È mettere testa, occhio e cuore sullo stesso asse”.

Particolarmente interessanti i capitoli: Sull’onda dell’informale e La grande armata delle avanguardie che racconta il rapporto fra mezzo fotografico e i nuovi fenomeni artistici della Body Art, Narrative Art e Conceptual Art che si affermano nel corso degli anni ’70.

Alright, I could use a sounding board (here and on the discord) cause I think trying to tackle the name hijinks code all alone with only basic help from the twine discord was... a mistake. (bite off more than you can chew... and then chew it >>)

So, below are all the possible combos for names (Mc, Charlie, Others and Horse) I can think off. Did I forget anything? Is something doubled when it shouldn't be? Also spoilers for which names net you special text

MC can share the following names with NPCs:

For Charlie:

Charlie, Charley, Charly, Charles, Charli, Charlee, Charleigh as First or Nickname, First Name not in Combo with Mulligan or Mullygan. E.G. 'Charly Mullygan' is not possible, but 'Charlotte 'Charly' Mulligan' is.

Mulligan or Mullygan for Nickname or Last Name. Restrictions similar to the above, also not as First Name.

TO DO: Charlie, Charley, Charly, Charles, Charli, Charlee, Charleigh as Last Name, Restrictions pending.

Others:

First name and Nickname can be identical/similar to NPC names, but not in combo with Last Names.

Current list (copied from twine):

First/Nick

"tommy", "tommie", "tomas", "thomas", "tom", "thom", "sean", "seán", "shawn", "shaun", "quinn", "quin", "giles", "gyles", "florence", "robert", "ada", "tess", "therese", "finley", "finn", "lien", "lian", "leanne", "liane", "lianne", "josephine", "josie", "josy", "josefine", "josey", "josee", "josée"

Last/Nick

"burke", "burg", "bourke", "o'brian", "o'bryan", "o'brien", "o'briain", "quinn", "quin", "o'reilly", "o'reileigh", "o'riley", "giles", "gyles", "florence", "robert", "ada", "tess", "therese", "finley", "finn", "meadow", "meadows", "mckee", "mcgee", "magee", "mckey", "mackee", "macgee", "mackey"

Meadows/Meadows will lead to Mrs Meadows addressing you as Fleabite.

Certain RDR2, TOH and DbD names will also net you bonus bits and bobs.

Need to add the sheriff to the lists?

Combos for your horse (all overlaps net an achievement):

MC, Charlie and Horse share a name (all varieties of Charlie and/or Mulligan)

Charlie and Horse share a name (doesn't have to be the same)

Horse and Mc share a name

Mc and horse share a name along with an npc (e.g if Mc and Horse are called a variety of Tommy).

Horse can be named Horse.

Horse cannot be named "wicklow", "bullsnot", "caboose", "cahoots".

That's what I have so far. does this sound right, does this make sense, did i overlook something?

I’ve been waiting two years to share this news. I’m not really sure how this came to be, but certainly it is a highlight of wishing my work out into the world. 26 years ago in a crowd of many I could not take my eyes off a dancer at the Schemitzun Powwow and, I think for the first time in my life, approached a stranger to ask for a portrait. This is what we made together, “Tommy in His Car”. And now it is in this stunning new book, Our America, A Photographic History, by Ken Burns with an introduction by Sarah Hermanson Meister. Oh, and it is on the facing page of an image by Sally Mann, and just page widths away from the iconic works of Hansel Mieth, Elliott Erwitt, Minor White, Walter Iooss, Richard Avedon, Danny Lyon, Eve Arnold, Dennis Stock, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Gordon Parks, Robert Frank, Bruce Davidson, Jerome Liebling, Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, Eudora Welty, Helen Levitt, Marion Post Wolcott, Walker Evans, Margaret Bourke-White, Paul Strand, Charles Sheeler, Alfred Stieglitz, Laura Gilpin, Lewis Hine, Edward Curtis, Mathew Brady, Timothy O’Sullivan, and Carleton E.

CINDY BUSBY AND DAVID GRIDLEY UNCOVER HISTOY AND ROMANCE IN ‘LOVE IN ZION NATIONAL: A NATIONAL PARK ROMANCE’ A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING MAY 20, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

STUDIO CITY, CA – April 26, 2023 – Cindy Busby (“Marry Me in Yosemite,” “Chasing Waterfalls”) and David Gridley (“The Duff,” “It Takes Three”) star in “Love in Zion National: A National Park Romance,” a new, original movie premiering Saturday, May 20 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel.

Lauren, (Busby) assistant curator at the Denver Museum of Natural History, has just received an exciting donation to the museum’s Native American Collections – a set of Anasazi wedding vases. But not everyone is as excited about the donation as Lauren. The benefactor’s grandnephew, Grady Hollingston (Bourke Floyd, “The Locksmith”), plans to contest the donation, claiming his great aunt had no right to give away such valuable family heirlooms. Lauren believes that based on the design of the vases there is a fourth vase that is missing from the set and if she can find it in Zion National Park herself, she can make the case that the vases should be returned to the Pueblo Nation. She heads to the park where she meets a local ranger and native Puebloan, Adam Proudstar (Gridley). Adam is at first skeptical of Lauren’s motives, but reluctantly agrees to accompany her search for the missing vase. When they arrive at their destination, they discover that Hollingston has also started a search of his own. Believing that they failed and have run out of time a disappointed Lauren and Adam prepare to part, despite growing feelings for each other, but perhaps not all is lost when a family secret is revealed.

“Love in Zion National: A National Park Romance” is from Johnson Production Group. Timothy O. Johnson and Joseph Wilka are executive producers. Robert Ballo serves as producer along Robin Conly is co-producer. Sam Irvin directed from a script by Bryar Freed and Jacob Cooney and a story by Conly.
