OK . . . What is it called when?

I am trying to recall the term used to describe photographs (or, I suppose, paintings) where there is text included in

the final print.

 

I am not talking about a picture with a sign in it and I am not talking about captions. I am talking about cases where

the photographer adds text to the print in order to alter or otherwise expand the meaning of the photograph.

 

The only photographer that I can think of right now who used this regularly is Duane Michaels.

 

Thanks for the help,

Brooks Jensen. He has discussed its usage in Lenswork a few times as well.

I don't know of a specifically accepted term, but I would call it a "textualised image". It is also a subclass of what Clive Scott calls a "spoken image" (Scott, C, <i>The spoken image : photography and language</i>. 1999, London: Reaktion.186189032X)

<I>I don't know of a specifically accepted term</I><P>In the Art world, painting, printmaking, photography, the term used

when text is part of the image is classified as "Narrative Art". Text on paintings was very popular in the 1980s, also in photo

schools in the 1970s, about the time Michaels started doing it.
