During the 19th century, it focuses on its technical development and on the complex relations that situate photography in relation to painting, portraiture, urban life, war, anthropology, exploration and travel, and science and industry. While these topics continue to be important during the 20th century, photography has been enriched by new developments that include its use as a modernist and experimental art form, in social documentary and photojournalism, in propaganda, in advertising and fashion, and its centrality in the practice of conceptual art, postmodernism, and in the digital age.
