Categories for the Description of Works of Art


26. Related Visual Documentation


DEFINITION

The identification of images that depict the work of art or architecture. Also includes subcategories for an image authority.

SUBCATEGORIES


GENERAL DISCUSSION


This category records references to images, reproductions, and facsimiles of the work of art or architecture being cataloged, including photographs, negatives, microfiche, videotape, and digital images. Subcategories should be maintained as a separate Image Authority which is linked to Object/Works, if possible.

This category records information about images or other resources that serve as visual surrogates of Object/Works, including digital images, slides, transparencies, photographs, videos, audio, and moving images, but excluding items that are considered works in their own right. For works such as drawings, prints, paintings, or photographs considered art, and other works that themselves contain representations of other works, use RELATED WORKS and/or SUBJECT MATTER.

Images discussed in this category are typicaly held in photo archives or other visual resource collections. For published images of works, use RELATED TEXTUAL REFERENCES.

In recording information about images, implementors should also consider technical standards that could map to the subcategories here. The primary technical standard as of this writing is the International Image Interoperability Framework, or iiif (pronounced "triple-eye-eff." Read about iiif on their Web site and in training materials on the Getty Vocabulary Program pages.

Image as a work of art
A reproduction may itself be considered a work of art, e.g., Eugène Atget's photographs of the art and architecture of Paris, or Alison Frantz's photographs of ancient Greek sites and artifacts. Such works should be described separately -- or additionally -- as Object/Works in their own right and linked via RELATED WORKS.

Purpose of images
Images may be made for reproduction, study, examination, documentation, or teaching. They may include historic photographs, conservation photographs, or installation photographs from a particular exhibition.

This category provides references to available reproductions or documentary images of an Object/Work. Certain types of visual documentation, such as historic photographs, may enhance understanding of a work of art, identify its subject, or establish facts about its creation and history. Images can provide a contextual view over time, making it possible to study physical changes in the work over time, identify the condition of a work at a particular time, or determine how the work was housed or displayed in a particular setting. (e.g., historical images of the Great Sphinx show that the site was once desert and that the condition of the work has deteriorated over the last 150 years).When a work of art or architecture is lost or destroyed, it may be known only through an image of it.

Images containing certain views of the Object/Work, such as those taken under ultraviolet light or in raking light, reveal particular characteristics of the work, such as underdrawings. Photographs of a work before and after it has undergone restoration may enhance understanding of both the treatment and the execution of the work itself.

Image vs. View
In CDWA, Image refers to the physical visual work or digital representation (e.g., a slide or a JPEG). View refers to the vantage point or lighting of the Object/Work in the image. Rules for both Image and View appear below; for a fuller, more prescriptive set of cataloging rules for View, see Chapter 9: View Information in Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO), which deals with a critical subset of the CDWA.

Audio and moving image documentation
If a work has an audio or moving image component, these subcategories may also be used to catalog the audio or moving image documentation. See Examples at the end of this chapter.

DEFINITION

An indication of the level of cataloging represented by the image record, based on the physical form or intellectual content of the images.

EXAMPLES


item
collection
group
subgroup
series
set


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: As a preliminary step in cataloging the image, determine the cataloging level. Record a term indicating if the image catalog record represents an item, volume, group, collection, or other arrangement of images. This is highly recommended if you are cataloging single items in addition to collections and groups of images.

For definitions of the terms, see OBJECT/WORK - CATALOG LEVEL.

26.2.9. Image View Description

DEFINITION

A description of the context (lighting, time of day) and/or aspect (position, angle, range, orientation, extent, or portion) of the work as depicted in the image.

EXAMPLES


profile view
detail of Joachim
detail of surface in raking light
view from below in late afternoon sunlight






DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a description of the the spatial, chronological, or contextual aspects of the work as captured in the image view.

Form and Syntax
Use phrases in lower case. Capitalize proper names. For other words, use lower case. Avoid abbreviations. Provide directional descriptions for architecture, sculpture, and other three dimensional objects (e.g., for a building, view from the east, or for a portrait bust, left profile). Do not capitalize cardinal directions (east, west, etc.) Note special lighting conditions (e.g., raking light).

Alternatively use sentence case and complete sentences or phrases.

Image View helps the user to evaluate the nature of the information contained in the image and to differentiate among multiple images of the same work. Knowing that a slide depicts a view of the Nike of Samothrace from below may aid researchers trying to determine how the work was originally intended to be seen. An aerial view of the Acropolis places the remains of the various monuments in their relative context.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Free text: This is not a controlled field. Index the type of view in VIEW TYPE.



Back to Top





26.2.9.1. View Type

DEFINITION

Terms that characterize the view in terms of vantage point, perspective, or lighting effects.

EXAMPLES


raking light
sunset
aerial view
frontal view
interior view
profile view
eye-level view
close-up view




DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a term or terms describing the position, angle, range, orientation, extent, or portion of the work depicted in the image view. If more than one term applies to an image, or if you are cataloging a collection or group, repeat this subcategory as necessary.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Control this subcategory with a controlled list derived from terms in the Examples above and other terms as necessary. Use the AAT (especially Views (visual works)) to find additional terminology.


Back to Top



26.2.9.2. View Subject  

DEFINITION

EXAMPLES
    - detail of Alan Pinkerton at the Battle of Antietam
    - Large Arch sculpture in the larger library plaza area
    - Great Sphinx with the Great Pyramid in the background


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a description of the subject as depicted in the view, particularly if it is distinct from the general subject information recorded for the Object/Work.

Form and syntax
Use phrases in lower case. Capitalize proper names. For other words, use lower case. Avoid abbreviations. Provide directional descriptions for architecture, sculpture, and other three dimensional objects (e.g., for a building, view from the east, or for a portrait bust, left profile). Do not capitalize cardinal directions (east, west, etc.) Note special lighting conditions (e.g., raking light).

Alternatively use sentence case and complete sentences or phrases.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Free text: This is not a controlled field. Index the subject in INDEXING TERMS.


Back to Top



26.2.9.2.1. View Subject Indexing Terms  

DEFINITION

Terms or phrases that index the subject matter of the work as it is depicted in a specific view.

    Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record terms that characterize the subject as depicted in the view, particularly as it is distinct from general subject information recorded for the Object/Work. Repeat the subcategory as necessary. Most institutions will use this subcategory, but not IMAGE VIEW; it is more important to index the subject here than to describe it in IMAGE VIEW.

Form and syntax
Capitalize proper names; for other terms, use lower case. Avoid abbreviations. Generally use the singular, including the proper names of iconographical themes, mythological events, persons, places, etc. When the singular is inappropriate, use the plural term, as warranted by the subject being cataloged. If a view includes a portion of the entire Object/Work, describe the subject of the part that is captured in the view.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Authorities: See the SUBJECT MATTER - INDEXING TERMS subcategory for a full discussion of the terminology for subject indexing.

Several different authorities will be used for subject indexing. Control terminology with the SUBJECT AUTHORITY for the proper names of the following: historical events; fictional characters, places, and events; religious or mythological characters or events; literary themes; iconographical themes.Control the names of historical people and corporate bodies with the PERSON/CORPORATE BODY AUTHORITY; control the names of geographical places with the PLACE/LOCATION AUTHORITY; control generic subject terms with the GENERIC CONCEPT AUTHORITY.

26.2.15. Image Broader Context 

DEFINITION 

An identification of the broader contexts for the image or group or collection of images, relevant only if the image itself is part of a group, collection, set, or series of images. Ideally this is a hiearchical link.  

EXAMPLES


    - Early Christian and Byzantine Architecture; group, photographs; 1956-1967 (bulk); Architectural Photographs Archive (Melbourne, Australia)

    - Jean Brown Papers; group; 1815-1995;  Special Collections, Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles, California, United States)


DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: If the image or group/collection being cataloged is part of a larger entity, indicate the broader context for image or group/collection. That is, record the hierarchical (whole/part) relationships between the image or images being cataloged and its parent.

Form and syntax
Ideally this is a hierarchical link.  For display, follow the example above, using the form suggested in RELATED VISUAL DOCUMENTATION - IMAGE LABEL/IDENTIFICATION.

In addition to the label as displayed in the Examples above, the broader contexts may be derived from the hierarhcical links, and displayed in various ways in various situations.

In an abbreviated horizontal display:


Detail of the Dome of Hagia Sophia (Early Christian and Byzantine Architecture)


Indented whole/part relationships:


Study Photographs Byzantine Architecture
..... Buildings in Ravenna
.......... Overview of Galla Placidia
.......... Interior view of Galla Placidia
.......... Detail of mosaics, interior of Galla Placidia
.......... Overview of San Vitale
.......... Detail of mosaics, interior of Galla Placidia
..... Buildings in Istanbul
.......... Aerial view of Hagia Sophia
.......... Detail of the Dome of Hagia Sophia
.......... Detail of mosaics, interior of Hagia Sophia


In the examples above, the hierarchical relationships are represented by indentation, illustrating a display that will be intelligible to most end users.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

System generated: Ideally, this broader context display should be generated from the hierarchical relationships of the image being cataloged. Ideally, this relationship should be managed by the computer system. The method by which the broader context is noted or linked will be specific to the cataloging, collection management, or editorial system being used. Linking the image record to its broader context allows hierarchies to be constructed.

Free-text: If generating a display by algorithm is not possible, or if the cataloging institution wants to express nuance that is not possible from an automatically generated string, a free-text field may be used instead.

RELATED CATEGORIES and ACCESS

Generally, the hierarchical relationship will be a special relationship that is managed separately from other types of relationships. However, for some institutions, the whole/part relationships will be recorded only by using "part of" and "broader context for" in related IMAGE RELATIONSHIP TYPES.
