Photography as painting as painting or photography? We begin with the premise that question, which makes us understand what the original question, if photography is art or not has influenced all his runs parallel to the pictorial. We must remember that at the beginning, photography poses and settings with simulated visual what the painting for centuries analyzed. The result is in photography, pictorial movement. The photograph, then detaches from the dictates painting to achieve their independence, and issues in its policy. Then, with the advent of mass media culture is approximates to painting, but in an ambiguous way: on the one hand we have the painting with his courses and arrives in our contemporary appeals to reassess that figurative vein, that is a re-proposition and poetic technique pictures of flavor, in a first phase realist, in a second hyper-realistic. Almost one wanting to replace the photographic medium. Already Degas, proposed by a photographic image: it immediately becomes aware of the importance of photography to painting: a recording of the real support is another mnemonic work of art. It is also important to remember that the Impressionists include the photograph and its "impress" the reality is investigating their own in the same direction. I mentioned this historical parallelism to introduce one important thing: now contemporary photography through a number of artists is once again reinventing the key photographic images of paintings. And the painting? It is becoming hyper realistic. A peaceful exchange of roles? Or born from the primal conflict that has accompanied these two languages?
