Before the invention of photography the past was quite different than it is in this day and age. Many questions and answers related to the existence of this mechanically produced image in the first half of the 19th century can be roughly reduced to a few topics.<\/p>\n
The main question is whether the photographic image can produce a work of art. The next question refers to the so-called pure photography and the other one that is not. Then, if the photographic image cannot be art, what is it then. And if the photographic image has produced art, what kind of art, an art separate and special or is it just a part of that generated contingent of images that have been recognized as art regardless of the medium in which they have been realised.<\/p>\n
In this context, we can look back in time for a moment upon the photographic work of Marijan Szabo. First of all, it is a historical fact that the name of this photographer is associated with the Zagreb school of photography and its inseparable Fotoklub Zagreb which was founded as a club for amateur photographers in 1892.<\/p>\n
It seems as if there is no dilemma within this context as to whether the photographic images are works of art, because the basic assumption is that membership in the club, exhibitions, diplomas and awards are also an alibi for separating the photographic image from the banal and uncreative towards one that has no particular value apart from that of technological correctness. The club is therefore an oasis within which exotic products are grown and in which it becomes desirable to nurture a certain similarity, a so-called school.<\/p>\n
Thus, for example, Marijan Szabo arrives at the waterfall in Jajce in 1930 and compositionally places it in the middle of his format. His club colleague William Herrnstein records the same waterfall by moving the frame a little to the left and thus getting another variant, but the technology of photo imaging and the subsequent postproduction in both images are the same: aestheticization and variations become, in effect, a characteristic. All this takes place in the context of examples of photographic production in Europe and partly in America (see Camerawork and Pictorialism), but especially in the context of a certain romanticism of the 1930s (landscapes, folklore), the New Reality (Neue Sachlichkeit) and distant echoes of the radical movements of the Russian avant-garde and the experiment of Bauhaus. The photographic images of Marijan Szabo should be regarded within this context. The charm of these images lies in the enthusiasm towards the landscape that allows a high aestheticization of the image, which in turn becomes largely an independent work of art. This applies to all of his photographic works, when he marvels at the so-called bird\u2019s eye angles or in his later works of the 1960s when he discovers informel characteristics of landscapes. His work ranges from the so-called school and current trends in Western art to the photography which ultimately, on a foggy Winter morning in 1966, near the end of his life, offers quite subjectively the image of a landscape as a personal farewell to the world.<\/p>\n

Marijan Szabo ro\u0111en je 21. rujna 1913., a \u010dlan Fotokluba Zagreb postaje ve\u0107 1929., pa je kao takav bio jedan od najmla\u0111ih obnovitelja i vode\u0107ih \u010dlanova Kluba. Fotografijom se po\u010deo baviti kao srednjo\u0161kolac, \u0161to \u0107e imati presudan utjecaj na njegov daljnji \u017eivot u kojem se \u00a0fotografijom bavi profesionalno. Marijan Szabo jedan je od osniva\u010da Zagreba\u010dke \u0161kole fotografije, va\u017ean je akter stvaranja umjetni\u010dke fotografske scene u biv\u0161oj Jugoslaviji i Hrvatskoj \u00a0i \u00a0zaslu\u017ean je za priznanje statusa fotografije kao \u010diste umjetnosti. Nepoznat \u0161iroj publici izlagao je zadnji put samostalno prije pedeset godina u Be\u010du. Umro je u Zagrebu 17. prosinca 1967. u pedeset i \u010detvrtoj godini \u017eivota. Marjana Szabu karakterizira osobna percepcija koja ga odvaja od tradicionalizma toga doba. Szabova su preokupacija ljudi u pejza\u017eima. Slu\u017eio se neobi\u010dnim kutevima snimanja kako bi izbjegao konvencionalne na\u010dine promatranja. Koristi nizove i elemente krovova, stepenica i predmeta kako bi stvorio apstraktne konstruktivisti\u010dke forme. Svjetlo mu je glavni element slike s kojim gradi geometriju i dubinsku perspektivu slike. Duhovnost mu je va\u017enija od tehnicizma slike. Istra\u017eiva\u010dki koncept izlo\u017ebe nepoznatih radova vra\u0107a Szabu na umjetni\u010dku scenu, ali i postavlja pitanje zbog \u010dega umjetnici padaju u zaborav. Projekt aktualizira pomalo zaboravljenog fotografskog umjetnika te ga samostalnom izlo\u017ebom predstavlja stru\u010dnoj i \u0161iroj javnosti. Projekt je doprinos o\u010duvanju hrvatske kulturne ba\u0161tine i razvoju hrvatske fotografije. Skupljati fotografsku zbirku u hrvatskom netr\u017ei\u0161nom likovnom okru\u017eenju nije lak izazov. Osim velikoga znanja o fotografskoj gra\u0111i i materijalnih sredstava potrebna je i velika strast za fotografskom umjetno\u0161\u0107u. Petar Smiljani\u0107, kolekcionar suvremene umjetnosti i fotografije, ustupio nam je fotografije iz vlastite zbirke za ovu izlo\u017ebu. Bez njegove podr\u0161ke ova izlo\u017eba ne bi bila mogu\u0107a. Stoga mu se Dom hrvatske fotografije posebno zahvaljuje. Hrvatski dom fotografije programski se bavi isklju\u010divo medijem fotografije. Izlagat \u0107e i zastupati prete\u017eito hrvatske i inozemne stare majstori fotografske umjetnosti 19. i 20. stolje\u0107a koji su utrli put \u0161irokom prihva\u0107anju fotografije kao nezavisnog i ravnopravnog medija sa svim ostalima umjetni\u010dkim medijima. Hrvatski dom fotografije bit \u0107e otvoren i za mla\u0111e autore te etablirane umjetnike koji koriste eksperimentalnu, tradicionalnu i digitalnu fotografiju.<\/p>\n
Programski cilj galerije jest kreiranje ravnote\u017ee i dijaloga sa \u0161irokim spektrom fotografskih \u017eanrova i tehnika. Hrvatski dom fotografije \u2013 Croatian House of Photography \u2013 djeluje u \u00a0izlo\u017ebenom prostoru Kluba HDLU-a, a pokrenut je s ciljem kontinuiranog unaprje\u0111enja i pro\u0161irenja izlaga\u010dke djelatnosti Hrvatskog dru\u0161tva likovnih umjetnika. Hrvatski dom fotografije slu\u017ebeno je otvoren 7. travnja 2014., a otvorio ga je u sklopu svoje izlo\u017ebe slavni Peter Lindbergh.<\/p>\n
