Contemporary photography

In several contemporary photographs it is possible to detect different expressive values ​​of twentieth-century contemporary art because they possess the same visual structure of the main artistic movements. From Impressionism onwards, the element of fusion with greater determination of photography in a contemporary context is undoubtedly the essence of conceptualism which was defined anagraphically in the sixties and seventies but concretely emerged in much pre-conceptual and post-conceptual artistic production. The conceptual essence of photographic expressionism is completed when the image, through its compositional structure, manages to convey sensations and emotions. Perhaps it is necessary to remember that conceptual art significantly scales down form and technique to give space to the concept that can be represented with any expressive language, including photography which is certainly contemporary with this function, without ignoring the expressive value of artistic photography which however began with its academic creativity to initially valorize a first expressive-photographic value.
