Alvin Langdon Coburn. WAPPING, 1904.
Photogravure print.
George Eastman House collection.
February 7 - May 31, 2009
Pictorialism was simultaneously a movement, a philosophy, an aesthetic,and a style, resulting in some of the most spectacular photographs in the history of the medium. This exhibition shows the rise of Pictorialism the late 19th century from a desire to elevate photography to an art form equal to painting, drawing,and watercolor, and extends the historical period generally associated with it by including its influential precursors, its persistent practitioners, and its seminal effect on photographic Modernism.
With 130 masterworks from such well-known photographers as Alvin Langdon Coburn, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Robert Demachy, Frederick Evans, and F. Holland Day, this remarkable exhibition will illustrate the Pictorialism movement's progression from its early influences to its lasting impact on photography and art.
