Sources of Information about Artists for Personal Study

For my personal study, it is important that in my essay, I have several quotes from my included artists to provide content, body and talking points as well as evidence to discussions etc. To do this, I need several different sources of information in which I can receive direct quotes from the artist themselves. I will be using the Harvard System of Referencing to embed each quote I use into my essay when appropriate in order for the source of the quote to be known. I have previously used the Harvard System of Referencing in photography but also in English Language AS so this will benefit my ability to use it properly.

Below are the sources from which I feel I can retrieve quotes from to use in my essay to back up any comments or statements I make regarding Eich and Frazier’s photo books.

One thought on “Sources of Information about Artists for Personal Study”

  1. In relation to these sources also include the two books I gave you on Roland Bathes: Camera Lucida and the wedding album in 27 context. You should also read first two chapters in Sontag: On photography and use all three text as a background/ contextual study that you can reference from through out your essay.

    Since you are working with story-telling and archives it would also be useful for you to revisit two texts by David Bate from his book: Art Photography (you should buy this one)
