Aaron Scharf
Aaron Scharf (1922 – 1993) was an American-born British art historian who contributed in particular to the history of photography in which he had developed an interest while studying at the Courtauld Institute.〔Jay, Bill (1993), '(Aaron Scharf:A verbal snapshot )'. Creative Camera, April/May 1993.〕 His investigation uncovered links between painting (and other artforms) and photography, and evidence for artists using photography for reference and other purposes, as well as the way photographers with aspirations as artists referred to painting in their work. He thus pioneered a new field of art history when Pop Art and other movements in the 1960s were reincorporating the medium of photography (which developed separately since the 1930s, and which hitherto art historians in general treated separately from painting〔As Richard Brettell notes: "With the exception of the writings of Aaron Scharf, Peter Galassis, Kirk Varnedoe, and a handful of other scholars, photography is completely omitted from the history of modern art particularly as it was written as a history of movements. In fact, photography played a considerable role in Impressionism, Nabis, Symbolism, Cubism, Dada, and Surrealism, moving hand-in-hand with painting and the graphic arts." (Brettell, Richard R. (1999) Modern Art, 1851-1929: Capitalism and Representation. Oxford University Press, Notes p.220)〕) and reference to popular photographic images, into mainstream artistic practice. Scharf popularised his study and discoveries with publication of his profusely illustrated hardback Penguin volume 'Art and Photography' (1968) and through his work at the Open University in producing innovative thematic educational videos on the history of photography and its relation to society.
==Early life==
Professor Aaron Scharf was born in 1922 in the USA. During World War II he was a bomber navigator,〔Scharf’s widow, Marina, posthumously published his wartime experiences as a bomber pilot in ''(Flak ) ''(1996) where he recounts how he deliberately botched the targeting of Ravenna, Italy in a bombing raid〕 afterwards spending some years as a painter and potter in Los Angeles. He studied art and anthropology at the University of California. In 1950 he married Ruth Dunlap Bartlett (1921 – 2009). An accomplished actress, Ruth owned and ran ''The Beachcomber'', a small theatre on Muscle Beach in Santa Monica. Helena Stevens was her stage name. She was also a committed communist and became the first to play the part of Mother Courage in an English-language production of the play of the same name by the German communist playwright Bertolt Brecht.〔Proletarian, issue 30 (June 2009)〕 Her husband meantime, was refused work or study in American universities, blacklisted because of his own socialism.
