Abstract

Tošo Dabac jedan je od najpoznatijih i najutjecajnih hrvatskih fotografa 20. stoljeća. Tema koja se proteže kroz njegove mnogobrojne fotografije je socijalno-dokumentarna, prikazuje socijalnu problematiku vremena u kojem je živio. Još kao fotografski amater sudjelovao je na mnogim izložbama u zemlji i inozemstvu, te je osvajao brojne nagrade i priznanja. Tošo Dabac zaslužan je za osnivanje i predstavljanje Zagrebačke škole umjetničke fotografije.

Glavni motiv njegovog stvaralaštva bio je grad Zagreb. Dabac fotografira život ulice; svakodnevne društvene događaje, prosjake, gospodu, portrete, spomenike, ples, cirkus, arhitekturu i krajolike, te se na taj način ističe kao jedan od glavnih nositelja socijalnog smjera u fotografiji.

Kroz analizu tehničke, semantičke i sintaktičke karakteristike odabranih Dabčevih fotografija, iz dobivenih zaključaka uspoređuju se prikazi motiva na njegovim fotografijama s prikazom istih tih motiva u današnjem vremenu. Nastoje se utvrditi sličnosti i razlike u samom stvaranju fotografije, te u kojoj se mjeri socijalna tematika koju on uspijeva dočarati u svojim radovima može prepoznati i u sadašnjem vremenu odnosno fotografiji.
