Finding the Right Photography for You
Find a broad range of photography on 1stDibs today.
The first permanent image created by a camera — which materialized during the 1820s — is attributed to Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. The French inventor was on to something for sure. Kodak introduced roll film in the 1880s, allowing photography to become more democratic, although cameras wouldn’t be universally accessible until several decades later.
Digital photographic techniques, software, smartphone cameras and social-networking platforms such as Instagram have made it even easier in the modern era for budding photographers to capture the world around them as well as disseminate their images far and wide.
What might leading figures of visual art such as Andy Warhol have done with these tools at their disposal?
Today, when we aren’t looking at the digital photos that inundate us on our phones, we look to the past to celebrate the photographers who have broken rules as well as records — provocative and prolific artists like Horst P. Horst, Lillian Bassman and Helmut Newton, who altered the face of fashion and portrait photography; visionary documentary photographers such as Gordon Parks, whose best-known work was guided by social justice; and pioneers of street photography such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, who shot for revolutionary travel magazines like Holiday with the likes of globetrotting society lensman Slim Aarons.
Find photographers you may not know in Introspective and The Study — where you’ll read about Berenice Abbott, who positioned herself atop skyscrapers for the perfect shot, or “conceptual artist-adventurer” Charles Lindsay, whose work combines scientific rigor with artistic expression, or Massimo Listri, known for his epic interiors of opulent Old World libraries. Photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron was given a Kodak camera as a child. Later, she shot on Polaroid film before buying her first 35mm camera in her teens. Barron's stunning portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Warhol and other artists chronicle a crucial chapter of New York’s cultural history.
Throughout the past two centuries, photographers have used their medium to create expressive work that has resonated for generations. Shop a voluminous collection of this powerful fine photography on 1stDibs. Search by photographer to find the perfect piece for your living room wall, or spend some time with the work organized under various categories, such as landscape photography, nude photography and more.
Questions About Photos Of Artists
- What do artists do?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024What artists do is create objects that have aesthetic appeal using their creativity and technical skills. Artists work with many different types of materials to make paintings, sculptures, drawings, collages, installations and other media. In some cases, artists may produce artwork for a specific client, called a patron. Other times, artists make art to convey a message or evoke an emotion. In the latter situation, artists may eventually sell their work through exhibitions or dealers. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
- What is an established artist?2 AnswersLa ChrysomeleFebruary 24, 2021An established artist is a professional artist who is recognized by his pairs (fellow professional artists) and the art community (professional dealers, art critics, etc.) for the quality of his/her work.
Glenn Green GalleriesFebruary 25, 2021Established artists have created work for a long period of time usually exhibiting the work on a regular basis. They have created bodies of work that are recognizably competent and consistent with someone who has knowledge of materials. - What is an installation artist?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024An installation artist is an artist who produces large-scale, site-specific, three-dimensional works. Most installations are made from mixed media, and they may be temporary or permanent interventions in a place. Some famous installation artists include Judy Chicago, Yayoi Kusama, Kurt Schwitters, Marcel Broodthaers, Gordon Matta-Clark, Jason Rhoades, Doris Salcedo, Kara Walker, Thomas Hirschhorn and Urs Fischer. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of fine art.
- Who is the artist Matta?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chilean artist Roberto Matta is sometimes referred to simply as “Matta.” One of Chile’s most famous artists, Matta is best known for his contributions to surrealist and expressionist painting during the 20th century. Shop a collection of authentic Roberto Matta pieces from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- What is a Photorealistic artist?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024A Photorealistic artist is an artist whose work reflects the characteristics of the Photorealist art movement. A direct challenge to Abstract Expressionism’s subjectivity and gestural vigor, Photorealism was informed by the Pop art predilection for representational imagery, popular iconography and commercial art and design tools, like projectors and airbrushes. Whether gritty or gleaming, the subject matter favored by Photorealists is instantly familiar. Some well-known Photorealist artists include Richard Estes, Ralph Goings, Chuck Close, Audrey Flack and Charles Bell. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Photorealist art.
- What is a limner artist?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024What a limner artist is depends on the context, as the term has two meanings. The most common use of the term is to describe artists who illuminate manuscripts, meaning that they hand paint decorative embellishments and illustrations directly onto pages to complement the text. In American historical writings dating back to the colonial period, you may sometimes see portrait artists also referred to as limners. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of fine art.
- What is an artistic photograph?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Artistic photography may refer to photography that is not representational, which is the term that is used to define photography that merely takes in the scene that a photographer experiences. In an artistic photograph, the artist tries to create a scene that is prized more for its beauty than realness. Find various kinds of artistic photographs on 1stDibs.
- How did Calder become an artist?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024The story of how Calder became an artist begins with his parents. Both artists themselves, they did not want him to suffer the hardships of trying to make a living in art, so they encouraged the young Alexander Calder to study mechanical engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. He subsequently worked a number of jobs, including as a hydraulic engineer and draftsman for the New York Edison Company, before deciding to pursue an artistic career. He applied his engineering background to his artwork, such as his understanding of gears and moving parts for kinetic sculptures like Cirque Calder (1931) and free-standing abstract sculptures he called “stabiles.” Explore a selection of Alexander Calder art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024To find an artist's signature, look at the top and bottom corners of a piece. The signature may appear close to the frame or a couple of inches from it. If you need assistance identifying the artist based on the signature, try the Smartify app. Using your smartphone or tablet camera, you can scan the image to find out if it matches one of the thousands of entries in the application's database. Should you need help with the identification process, a knowledgeable art dealer or appraiser can be of assistance. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of fine art.
