La primera fotografía se realiza (1826), casi, al mismo tiempo (1828) que fallece uno de los grandes pintores de la historia: Francisco de Goya

Harry Ranson Center
The First Photograph, or more specifically, the earliest known surviving photograph made in a camera, was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 or 1827. The image depicts the view from an upstairs window at Niépce's estate, Le Gras, in the Burgundy region of France. Learn more about the First Photograph through the links below.

Fotografía y pintura conviven en los primeros tiempos en algunos establecimientos artísticos. La labor de algunos miniaturistas "completando con color" las fotos es bien conocida

Entre los artistas distinguidos que más se señalan entre nosotros... no debemos olvidar al Sr. Dr. Hebert, que es no solo un buen fotógrafo, sino un escelente pintor, rivalizando sus obras con las mejores que hemos visto.

Pero ya en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX los caminos de fotografía y pintura, siempre próximos se van a ir separando....pero nunca del todo.
Varios y destacados pintores son también reconocidos como grandes fotógrafos.
He aquí algunos ejemplos ( hay muchos más)

  • MAN RAY

  Man Ray Exploring photographs Getty Tears.

Man Ray Fotografía y Pintura. Moma.

American photographer and painter. He was brought up in New York, and he adopted the pseudonym Man Ray as early as 1909. He was one of the leading spirits of Dada and Surrealism and the only American artist to play a prominent role in the launching of those two influential movements. Throughout the 1910s he was involved with avant-garde activities that prefigured the Dada movement. After attending drawing classes supervised by Robert Henri and George Bellows at the Francisco Ferrer Social Center, or Modern School, he lived for a time in the art colony of Ridgefield, NJ, where he designed, illustrated and produced several small press pamphlets, such as the Ridgefield Gazook, published in 1915, and A Book of Diverse Writings.

Tomando como punto de partida el análisis de la obra fotográfica de artista David Hockney, hemos pretendido buscar respuestas a una serie de cuestiones centradas en las posibilidades de representación del espacio que permite el medio fotográfico. La obra fotográfica que David Hockney desarrolló en los años ochenta del siglo XX supuso una ruptura con el espacio fotográfico canónico, poniendo en cuestión las tradicionales relaciones entre espacio representado y fotografía. Sus archiconocidos joiners o composites fotográficos proponían un acercamiento al espacio fotográfico alejado del modo de representación óptico-perspectivo que monopolizaba, salvo contadas excepciones, la representación espacial en este medio. Así, la obra de Hockney propuso nuevos horizontes representativos dentro del ámbito fotográfico de gran repercusión en posteriores generaciones.

  • En España de mediados del siglo se puede citar a Novella que tiene un cuadro en el Museo de Prado y que tuvo el estudio de fotografía Photo Art Novella.

  • En el "Diccionario de artistas valencianos del siglo XX", publicado en 1999, aparece información sobre Novella y también en la siguiente obra:

  • Por otra parte el Museo del Prado amplia los datos de esta fotógrafo y pintor. Es curioso, conozco pocos fotógrafos de esta época que destacaran en ambos campos, foto y pintura, pues Novella tiene una obra en el Museo del Prado "La Primavera" que está en depósito en la Capitanía General de Zaragoza, y tenía el derecho a firmar sus obras como " fotógrafo de la Real Casa".

Utiliza frecuentemente las fotos, sobre todo fotos antiguas, como parte integrante de su obra.

  • Y, para terminar, el que mejor explica la interacción entre fotografía y pintura es Joan Fontcuberta en su libro la Caja de Pandora

  The photographic work of David Hockney: A Reflection on the multiple photo
Taking as its starting point the analysis of the photographic work of artist David Hockney, we have tried to find answers to a series of questions focusing on the possibilities of representation of space that allows the photographic medium. The photographic work of David Hockney developed in the eighties of the twentieth century marked a break with the canonical photographic space, questioning the traditional relations between represented space and photography. Your joiners archiconocidos or photographic composites proposed an approach to photographic space optical remote mode-which monopolized representation perspective, with few exceptions, the spatial representation in this medium. Thus the work of Hockney representative proposed new horizons within the photographic area of ​​great impact on later generations.

Moreover Prado Museum wide data to the photographer and painter.
