Contents:
Since the 19th century, photography has offered a method of realistic depiction. It complemented paintings and their strategies of mimesis and historical images. This established the image as a documentary representation beyond high art. It was widely disseminated in magazines. As a result, painting began to deal with events by reflecting on these images. Documentary photography, in turn, increasingly adopted pictorial formulas from art history in order to make its motifs legible and impressive. These interactions continue throughout the 20th century and into the present day. In addition, art developed alternative forms of documentation and the authenticity of photography has often become questionable. - Using examples from the last 150 years, from Manet to Steyerl, the relationship between art and documentary images will be discussed.
