Spanning 344 pages, it provides a comprehensive overview of the various ways in which Pictorialism was expressed across different European countries before extending and further developing in America. It is not a monograph but a collection of articles written by scholars and historians of photography, accompanied by numerous high-quality images. \r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full advgb-dyn-d0ede01b\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"500\" class=\"wp-image-1788\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/51kG2KMnfXL.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/51kG2KMnfXL.jpg 384w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/51kG2KMnfXL-230x300.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">cover: Gustav E.B. Trinks, Colored Shadows, 1902<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTo understand the origins of Pictorialism, it is essential to consider that, from 1880 onwards, numerous technical innovations had made photography increasingly accessible to a wider audience. With the introduction of the dry plate, the complex process of sensitising plates (wet plate), which had to be carried out in a darkroom, was no longer necessary. Furthermore, the invention of celluloid film and the launch of the Kodak camera (1900) simplified photography even further, significantly reducing costs and expanding the number of enthusiasts. Amateur photography was born.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p> Pictorialism emerged in this context as a reaction to the vast number of predominantly documentary images produced by countless amateur photographers. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pictorialists regarded photography not merely as a tool for documenting reality but also as a new means of interpreting it. They sought to have photography recognised as an art form, equal to the graphic arts, and this ambition drove them to emulate pictorial artworks through photography. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, the aspiration to elevate photography to an artistic means of expression did not originate with the Pictorialist movement. Thirty years earlier, other photographers were already creating allegorical works using the so-called combination printing technique, which involved overlaying multiple negatives. Initially used in landscape photography to capture a wider tonal range, this technique reached its peak with Oscar Gustave Rejlander (1813-1875) and Henry Peach Robinson (1830-1901). Their images were the result of meticulous preparation, requiring preliminary sketches and multiple exposures that were later recombined through a painstaking process of layering negatives. Producing the final image could take weeks or even months. \r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-4bd6feb7\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"529\" class=\"wp-image-1805\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oscar-gustave-rejlander_two_ways_of_life-1024x529.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oscar-gustave-rejlander_two_ways_of_life-1024x529.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oscar-gustave-rejlander_two_ways_of_life-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oscar-gustave-rejlander_two_ways_of_life-768x397.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oscar-gustave-rejlander_two_ways_of_life-1536x794.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oscar-gustave-rejlander_two_ways_of_life-2048x1058.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oscar Gustave Rejlander,, Two Ways of Life, 1857, from Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-2891b0f3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" class=\"wp-image-1806\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Henry_Peach_Robinson_Fading_Away_1858-1024x652.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Henry_Peach_Robinson_Fading_Away_1858-1024x652.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Henry_Peach_Robinson_Fading_Away_1858-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Henry_Peach_Robinson_Fading_Away_1858-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Henry_Peach_Robinson_Fading_Away_1858-1536x978.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Henry_Peach_Robinson_Fading_Away_1858-2048x1304.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Henry Peach Robinson, Fading Away, 1858, from Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\nHenry Peach Robinson also wrote several texts, including the essay <em>Pictorial Effects in Photography<\/em><sup><a href=\"#footnote_1_1712\" id=\"identifier_1_1712\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/pictorialeffecti00robi, Henry Peach Robinson, Pictorial Effects in Photography\">1<\/a><\/sup> (1869), which became a key reference for the emerging &#8220;artistic photography&#8221; movement, as well as for the subsequent Pictorialist movement. However, Pictorialists did not adopt either the composite photography technique or the decidedly academic approach of these predecessors. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There was no single event that definitively marked the birth of Pictorialism, nor was there ever a manifesto outlining its principles and intentions. The movement arose spontaneously within amateur photographic circles and societies across different European countries, displaying highly diverse styles and characteristics. \r\n\r\nOne of the techniques commonly adopted by Pictorialists was the deliberate use of soft focus, giving images a slightly poetic quality. This approach was often accompanied by printing methods that allowed manipulation of the final image, as can be seen in the works of Robert Demachy (1859-1936) and Constant Puyo (1857-1933). \r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full advgb-dyn-c1b675f3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"364\" height=\"582\" class=\"wp-image-2422\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CW05-06_-_Robert_Demachy_Struggle_1904-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CW05-06_-_Robert_Demachy_Struggle_1904-2.jpg 364w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CW05-06_-_Robert_Demachy_Struggle_1904-2-188x300.jpg 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robert Demachy, Struggle, 1904, from Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-212bbf94\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"715\" class=\"wp-image-2419\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sacred_Song_by_C._Puyo-1-1024x715.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sacred_Song_by_C._Puyo-1-1024x715.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sacred_Song_by_C._Puyo-1-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sacred_Song_by_C._Puyo-1-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sacred_Song_by_C._Puyo-1-1536x1072.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sacred_Song_by_C._Puyo-1.jpg 1872w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Constant Puyo, Sacred Song, 1905, from Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large advgb-dyn-b20db6aa\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-2420\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Emile_Joachim_Constant_Puyo_Montmartre_ca._1906-799x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Emile_Joachim_Constant_Puyo_Montmartre_ca._1906-799x1024.jpg 799w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Emile_Joachim_Constant_Puyo_Montmartre_ca._1906-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Emile_Joachim_Constant_Puyo_Montmartre_ca._1906-768x984.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Emile_Joachim_Constant_Puyo_Montmartre_ca._1906-1199x1536.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Emile_Joachim_Constant_Puyo_Montmartre_ca._1906-1599x2048.jpg 1599w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Emile_Joachim_Constant_Puyo_Montmartre_ca._1906-scaled.jpg 1998w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Constant Puyo, Montmartre, 1905, from Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large advgb-dyn-e38bb33e\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"711\" class=\"wp-image-2421\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The_Crowd_MET_DT333201-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The_Crowd_MET_DT333201-1024x711.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The_Crowd_MET_DT333201-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The_Crowd_MET_DT333201-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The_Crowd_MET_DT333201-1536x1067.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The_Crowd_MET_DT333201-2048x1423.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robert Demachy, The Crowd, 1910, from Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\nOther Pictorialists preferred a more direct approach, avoiding manipulation and focusing on image composition while applying only a subtle blur effect, sometimes using special soft-focus lenses.

Pictorialism was the 1891 exhibition organised in Vienna by the Klub der Amateur-Photographen (later the Wiener Kamera Club). The jury consisted exclusively of painters and sculptors, ensuring that the selected images were judged solely on their artistic value. The exhibition was a great success, acting as a catalyst for the formation of new clubs and magazines in Austria and across Europe, including the aforementioned Linked Ring Brotherhood. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Although the United States had pioneered the technological innovations that enabled the rise of amateur photography\u2014and, consequently, Pictorialism\u2014the movement did not develop independently in America but was instead &#8220;imported&#8221; from Europe. This was largely due to the influence of the Circle of Photo-Secessionists, which included Gertrude K\u00e4sebier (1852-1934), Edward Steichen (1879-1973), Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), and Clarence White (1871-1925). Stieglitz also managed the 291 gallery on New York\u2019s Fifth Avenue, where he exhibited the works of Pictorialists (and later hosted the first American exhibitions of Matisse and Picasso). More importantly, he published Camera Work, a high-quality magazine that significantly contributed to the dissemination of Pictorialism in the United States. \r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large advgb-dyn-11e4d531\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-2436\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/William_Ivins_by_Gertrude_Kasebier_c1910-716x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/William_Ivins_by_Gertrude_Kasebier_c1910-716x1024.jpg 716w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/William_Ivins_by_Gertrude_Kasebier_c1910-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/William_Ivins_by_Gertrude_Kasebier_c1910-768x1098.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/William_Ivins_by_Gertrude_Kasebier_c1910-1074x1536.jpg 1074w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/William_Ivins_by_Gertrude_Kasebier_c1910-1432x2048.jpg 1432w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/William_Ivins_by_Gertrude_Kasebier_c1910-scaled.jpg 1790w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wiliam Ivins by Gertrude K\u00e4sebier, 1910, from Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large advgb-dyn-27eec6c6\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"824\" class=\"wp-image-2437\" src=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Edward_Steichen_American_-_Road_into_the_Valley_-_Moonrise_-_Google_Art_Project-1024x824.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Edward_Steichen_American_-_Road_into_the_Valley_-_Moonrise_-_Google_Art_Project-1024x824.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Edward_Steichen_American_-_Road_into_the_Valley_-_Moonrise_-_Google_Art_Project-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Edward_Steichen_American_-_Road_into_the_Valley_-_Moonrise_-_Google_Art_Project-768x618.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Edward_Steichen_American_-_Road_into_the_Valley_-_Moonrise_-_Google_Art_Project-1536x1236.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onslowphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Edward_Steichen_American_-_Road_into_the_Valley_-_Moonrise_-_Google_Art_Project-2048x1648.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Edward Steichen, Road into the Valley &#8211;

Even though Pictorialism was eventually superseded by Straight Photography, the aesthetic motivations behind it inspired later artistic trends that continued to emerge throughout the following decades and can still be seen in contemporary photography, echoing the characteristics of Pictorialism. \r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h4>\r\n<ol class=\"footnotes\"><li id=\"footnote_1_1712\" class=\"footnote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/pictorialeffecti00robi\">https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/pictorialeffecti00robi<\/a>, Henry Peach Robinson, Pictorial Effects in Photography<span class=\"footnote-back-link-wrapper\">[<a href=\"#identifier_1_1712\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-back-link\">&#8617;<\/a>]<\/span><\/li><li id=\"footnote_2_1712\" class=\"footnote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/naturalisticphot00emer\/mode\/2up\">https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/naturalisticphot00emer\/mode\/2up<\/a>, Peter Henry Emerson, Naturalistic photography for students of the art<span class=\"footnote-back-link-wrapper\">[<a href=\"#identifier_2_1712\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-back-link\">&#8617;<\/a>]<\/span><\/li><\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pictorial Photography, also known as Pictorialism, was an international artistic movement that emerged over the thirty years straddling the end<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1788,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[60,62],"tags":[71,73,70,72],"class_list":["post-1712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-photo-history","tag-fotografia-pittorica","tag-libri-di-fotografia","tag-pittorialismo","tag-storia-della-fotografia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Impressionist Camera<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pictorial Photography, also known as Pictorialism, was an international artistic movement that emerged over the thirty years straddling the end of the 19th century.
