Peterson's book is slowly paced, as if in tribute to the genre, demanding time for full appreciation of the work of dozens of lesser-known, even forgotten photo-artists of an earlier day. But his finely crafted text, woven around beautiful images and supported by brief biographies of 75 practitioners of this art, provides great satisfaction to the reader and the viewer. This is a long-overdue serious study of art photography became known as Pictorialism, following the Alfred Steiglitz's efforts to establish criteria for creative expression in photography early in this century. Few scholars have the ability to undertake such a work, but Peterson (Minneapolis Institute of Arts) has the necessary breadth of understanding and unique factual knowledge.
The beautiful and seductive images of an overlooked movement, reproduced in their full tonal range. Much has been written about Alfred Stieglitz and his role in establishing photography as an art. Little attention, however, has been paid to the pictorial photographers who followed Stieglitz, among them Imo Jean Cunningham, Edward Weston, Clarence H. White, and a host of others -- those who, in a widespread movement, approached photography in a painterly fashion, creating beautiful images through the use of careful lighting, manipulated tones, soft focus effects, and artistic compositions. In this important volume, Christian A. Peterson finally gives the pictorialists of the first half of the twentieth century their due. He describes the backgrounds of the movement, their methods, the photo clubs they belonged to, and their work, illustrated here with ninety-three stunning reproductions. The movement seemed to die out, Peterson suggests, with the rising popularity of 35mm photography in mid-century, when the care and slow working procedures required by large-format cameras became unpopular. 93 full-color photographs Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
