In the early 1840s, however, Scottish photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson began making portraits that period viewers compared to the style of Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. By 1870, Henry Peach Robinson, Julia Margaret Cameron, and other British photographers sought to distinguish the medium from science. To that end, they modeled their images after Impressionist paintings, used special filters, and manipulated negatives to achieve a painterly effect. While the movement waned in the 1910s, this exhibition demonstrates Pictorialism’s lasting influence on amateurs, art photographers, Hollywood portraitists, and photographers of the American West. Long Exposure traces Pictorialism’s nineteenth-century beginnings to the present day, when contemporary artists and photographers continue to manipulate photographic images to create new art.
