About David Yarrow
David Yarrow, born in the Scottish port city of Glasgow, began taking photographs at an early age. At the age of 20, he was already working as a photographer for the London Times. The German radio station Deutschlandfunk recently described Yarrow as a "grand master of animal photography".
Yarrow is known for his impressive close-ups of wild animals. His pictures literally sparkle with passion, drama, and empathy.
The photographer stands out for his fearlessness in the wild - no matter whether he has to set up camp in the Alaskan wilderness for his shots or is surrounded by Siberian tigers when locked in a cage.
A process for producing images by the action of light, which became widely known in 1839. Photography quickly became the basis for the expanding image industry that pushed the manually produced pictures, paintings and drawings into the background.
The avant-garde painting adopted photographic form elements, to ensure its painting validity. In the 1920s, many avant-garde painters devoted themselves to photography. With his photographs and photomontages, the American painter Man Ray developed new means of expression in modern art, the so-called "rayographs".
The Pop Art of the 1960s varied and alienated the public photograph with the help of technical means. The American pop artist Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987) is the most famous master of this art movement with his images and image series created in this way.
