Pictorialism, an approach to photography that emphasizes beauty of subject matter, tonality, and composition rather than the documentation of reality. The Pictorialist perspective was born in the late 1860s and held sway through the first decade of the 20th century. It approached the camera as a tool that, like the paintbrush and chisel, could be used to make an artistic statement. Thus photographs could have aesthetic value and be linked to the world of art expression. The name itself derived from the thought of Henry Peach Robinson, British author of Pictorial Effect in Photography (1869). In his desire to separate

Robert Demachy was the leading French proponent of Pictorialism and the director of the Photo-Club de Paris, the French parallel to the American Photo-Secession (led by Alfred Stieglitz), the Viennese Kleeblatt, and the British Brotherhood of the Linked Ring. Like his American and European counterparts, Demachy produced and promoted a type of photography that self-consciously evoked drawing and painting-part of an effort to distinguish his pictures from the products of amateur snap shooters and commercial photographers. Demachy was particularly interested in nonstandard photographic processes and is noted especially for his revival of the gum bichromate process. Here's some of his amazing work:

En matière de photographie et d'art, Alfred Stieglitz est un véritable pionnier. Toute sa vie, il va se battre pour que l'art photographique soit reconnu comme étant un art à part entière. Dès 1880, il va intégrer le pictorialisme, un courant photographique qui revendique le côté artistique de la photo. Au XIXe siècle, la photo avait surtout un intérêt scientifique et documentaire mais n'était pas considérée comme étant artistique. Alfred Stieglitz va sans relâche organiser des expositions et lancer des revues uniquement sur l'art de la photo. Stieglitz va expérimenter de nouvelles techniques en photo afin d'être le plus complet possible au niveau de son art. Il va également se passionner pour la peinture et diriger une galerie d'art à New York. Il sera le premier à faire connaître les artistes européens tels que Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, au public américain. Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), est un photographe et un marchand d'art américain né à Hoboken, dans le New Jersey, aux États-Unis. Dès son plus jeune âge, il collectionne les photos et les accroche aux murs de sa chambre. Il prend ses premières photos à 19 ans, pendant ses études d'ingénieur à l'école polytechnique de Berlin. Toujours à la recherche de nouvelles techniques photographiques, il va s'inscrire à des cours de chimie afin de maîtriser tous les aspects de la photo. En 1902, Alfred Stieglitz va acquérir une renommée internationale en organisant une exposition de photos à laquelle vont participer de nombreux photographes. L'art et la photo doivent beaucoup à cet homme passionné et tenace.
