Description: This exhibition focuses on the early history of art photography, especially pictorialism. The latter art movement was born at the end of the 19th century and developed simultaneously in England, France, Germany and Austria. The movement attempted to prove that photography is a form of high art and a means of expression, rather than just the mechanical documentation of reality. In the creation of their work, followers of pictorialism actively interfered in the technological process by using soft focuses, filters and lens covers to imitate various effects, such as rain and fog. They also manipulated processed or semi-processed images by treating them with brushes, scrapers and the like. Pictorialists diligently imitated painting techniques and themes. Exhibition: Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, Hungary (29.3.-1.7.2012).
