The combination of salon and photography was the product of photography activities carried out by the upper and middle classes of society at that time. In addition to investing in equipment, it also gathered colleagues to discuss various photography-related knowledge, which became the origin of modern photography associations or clubs. Therefore, as the concept of the venue of the general media, various photography associations or clubs at this time are also a kind of photography salon 3 and a replica of the art salon in the photography industry.
Photography associations all over the world have played a very important role in the development of photography. Whether it is the promotion of photography art or the development of photography technology, photography association has become the center of all kinds of related information and activities. Photography associations have also begun to compete to hold photography competitions and exhibitions that imitate the salon exhibition. Due to the legal status of the art field,19th century photography exhibitions are rarely held in regular galleries, and opportunities for public display usually appear in large-scale fairs.
It was not until 189 1 that he was photographed at the salon exhibition in Vienna, Austria, and his photographs were selected according to the standards of painting. This is the first salon photography exhibition selected according to artistic standards rather than technical standards. In order to purify the artistry of the photography exhibition, there is no award in this salon exhibition to avoid the color of commercial competition. Two years later, British series clubs drew lessons from Vienna Salon's successful attempt to highlight artistry and held a series of exhibitions called "Photography Salon" in the famous Dudley Gallery in London, which was a key measure to make photography independent from traditional painting and art circles in organizational system. Since then, photography salon, as an art exhibition system and form, has gradually developed into an international film festival with extensive participation.
Hope to adopt. Thank you.
