Dramatic and technically experimental, the Pictorialist movement sought to elevate photography to a form equal to painting and drawing. The results are both whimsical and challenging, and will appeal to both art history buffs and photography enthusiasts. A sumptuously illustrated and beautifully produced volume, with 121 colour photographs illustrating the fine craft of the Pictorialists. The photographs in this volume have been gathered from collections in the US, Canada, Japan, Australia and Europe, and the text highlights the true international scope of the Pictorialist movement. Photos are drawn from the following collections: George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, Rochester, NY The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY The Museum of Modern Art, NY Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver
