"Essay on Art and Photography" by A. V. Sutton is a reflective examination of the relationship between art and photography, written in the mid-19th century. This book serves as an essay that captures the evolution of photography as a form of art during a time when it faced skepticism and criticism from traditional artists. Sutton discusses the integration of art and science and argues for the value of photography in enriching the fine arts and offering truthful representations of reality. In the essay, Sutton recounts the early struggles of photography to gain acceptance, detailing how artists initially viewed it as a threat to their work. He emphasizes the importance of photography not only as a mechanical reproduction but also as a technique that can enhance artistic expression by preserving individuality and capturing the essence of subjects with precision. Additionally, Sutton highlights photography’s wider applications across various fields, including architecture and science, and advocates for it as a means to uplift artistic standards by advocating for a collaborative approach between traditional artistic practices and photographic techniques. The essay ultimately champions photography as an invaluable ally to the arts, promoting its acceptance as a legitimate form of artistic expression.
