Documentary Photography as a Resource in the Work of Women Artists: From the "Flâneuse" to the Chronicler of Invented Realities
Abstract
In this article we review the work of a series of creative women who have investigated during the twentieth century the reality of their public and private environment by the use of documentary photography as an artistic resource. The path walked by these artists is based on their firm commitment to the historical dimension (certifying that the idea of document is part of the photographic imprint, due to its ontological nature) and the subjective dimension (the one that deals with the opinion of the artist). In the studied works, the fusion of art and documentary provides a powerful association whereby women takes over its environment and of its own image constructing its own vision of reality and generic identity.Downloads
