Pictorialism was a movement, a philosophy, an aesthetic, and a style that arose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries out of a desire to elevate photography to an art form equal to painting and the graphic arts.The exhibition TruthBeauty: Pictorialism and the Photograph as Art, 1845–1945, traces the history and legacy of pictorialism.
In this video, TIME-LIFE photographers David Burnett and Chris Usher take you back to the early art photography era, setting up, shooting, and developing a photo the "pictorialist" way.
