“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 Pictorialismin 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.”
