Summary
Fifty years after it was invented, photography once again sought to rival painting. The Pictorialist photographers at the turn of the 20th century reproduced the subjectivity and timeless themes of earlier visual arts by experimenting with soft focus, special lenses, printing effects, and by drawing, engraving, or painting directly onto prints. Providing an overview of the movement and its influences, this program studies the works and the methods of the Pictorialist photographers, including Robert Demachy, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Frank Eugene, Edward Steichen, and Alfred Stieglitz. Focusing on "Rodin - The Thinker," "The Pond - Moonlight," "The Letter," "The Onion Field," "The Bridge - Ipswich," "The Steerage," and "The Seven Last Words," the video also covers Guido Rey, George Davidson, F. Holland Day, Heinrich Kuhn, and Paul Haviland.
