Style in World War Photography

Abstract: The two World Wars were specific times of extreme societal upheaval, providing a political, societal and aesthetic environment for photography to make its own cataclysmic offering to these great efforts. During World War I and World War II, photography emerged with its own artistic styles and established its own genres that relied upon, but transcended the technology of the daguerreotype, the Kodak instant photo and 360 film processing. Photojournalism as an art form was born, and within that genre, photography styles such as realism, propaganda, documentary and surrealism were also born. 7 works cited. jvphotog.rtf
