		After the death of the Pictorialist Aleksandr Grinberg in 1979, a friend stopped by his communal apartment in Moscow and found a neighbor using an exhibition print as a dustpan.
		Like other Pictorialists, they favored landscapes, portraits and nudes, mastered such "artistic" techniques as bromoil and gum bichromate, made photographs that could be mistaken for the products of other graphic techniques and courted blur, color and texture.
		The curators say that Pictorialist photography was so pervasive in Russia that it influenced the appearance of characters in novels as well as the appearances of actual people.

		A pictorialist is one who subscribes to the theory of Pictorialism.
		Pictorialists are more concerned with the aesthetics and, sometimes, the emotional impact of the image, rather than what is in front of their camera.
		My images are a menagerie of scenes and ideas that interest me, ranging from hoar frost on trees to northern sunsets and cattails blowing in the wind.

	Imagery and Imagination [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		As this analogy suggests, the pictorialists claim that underlying the experience of mental imagery is some sort of representation that is pictorial in nature while the descriptionalists claim that underlying the experience of mental imagery is some sort of representation that is descriptional or linguistic in nature.
		The pictorialists think that the introspective data should be interpreted just as it seems—our mind manipulates representations that are pictorial in nature.
		The pictorialists’ claim that mental images represent pictorially should not force one to the position that mental images are like mental snapshots; they might be more like mental stick-figure drawings.

	Pictorialism
		I've always seen the difference between the "straight" school of photography and the pictorialist as the first demanding that an artist be true to the medium and the second telling him be true to his own vision.
		Originally, it was a late nineteenth century movement whose goal was to elevate the status of photography to an art.
		To further heighten the pictorialist sense, most of the photographs were shot on infrared film.

	Edward Curtis: Pictorialist and Ethnographic Adventurist
		Analogy absolves the distance and discrepancies of pictorialist and ethnographic pictures of natives by restoring a sense of visual reason.
		Pictorialists reacted and sought "to reinstate the 'aura' of the image and distinguish their work aesthetically from that of commercial and amateur photographs." He argued that the revolution was not pictorialist, but a new means of political control.
		Curtis created the pictorialist scenes of what he believed to be a vanishing race, and yet he understood that the captured images, not the actual natives, were aesthetic simulations.

		There are famous West Coast Pictorialists (Arnold Genthe, Karl Struss), obscure West Coast Pictorialists (Anne Brigman, William Mortensen), and famous West Coast photographers little known as Pictorialists (Ansel Adams and Edward Weston in pre-Modernist mode).
		There are photos in the BU show of wrestlers, an egg beater in a mixing bowl, tires on a dolly outside a warehouse, loops of celluloid, and a gypsum mill (albeit a very pretty gypsum mill).
		As such examples suggest, there are numerous splendid images in "California Dreamin'." A viewer without the foggiest idea of what Pictorialism was (and Pictorialists were, of course, very fond of fog) would find his or her enjoyment little diminished, so arresting are many of the photographs.

	Pictorialist Photography by William Parker Little
		The influence of the Barbizon school and impressionism are clearly seen in the pictorialist photographs of the late 19th and early 20th century.
		Important aesthetic elements of pictorialism include: control of composition and tone, expressive and suggestive qualities, softening or blurring of outlines, the suppression of detail and the overall incorporation of an atmospheric quality.
		The photo-secession represents an elite but very small group of individuals who had separated themselves from the rest of the photographic community and consequently the majority of the pictorialist amateurs.

	Russian Pictorialism - exhibition tour continues
		Although pictorialism was a worldwide phenomenon in late 19th and early 20th century photography, Russian pictorialist photography disappeared from view in the 1930’s.

		Having come into contact with Russian pictorialist masters in the 1970’s at well-known photo club in Moscow, Golosovsky became interested in their aesthetic ideas, their practice of art for art’s sake, and their depiction of life in the Russian countryside.

	YourWall : Photography as Fine Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Around the turn of the century, however, a group known as the Pictorialists sought recognition of photography as the equal of painting and sculpture among the traditional fine arts.
		The Pictorialists placed a premium on technical virtuosity as a means of separating themselves from the casual amateur, and although a perusal of Camera Work reveals many old-fashioned images, their range remains considerable.
		Stieglitz himself came to regard Pictorialist photography as old-fashioned, and in 1933 gave his enormous collection of images to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, which had earlier been less than enthusiastic about the acquisition but now accepted it gladly.

		Therefore, the pictorialist reasons, it is best to simply accept the introspective evidence we have as a starting place: we have no conscious awareness of storing and recalling descriptions when we store and recall visual images.
		The pictorialist position is supported by a substantial body of evidence in empirical psychology.

		Biography: Born in Baltimore in 1906, A. Aubrey Bodine became a world-renowned photojournalist, a photographer in the pictorialist style, and one of the most important photographers in the history of Maryland and the region.
		His love for the diverse landscape of the state is evident through the wide range of subject matter that he featured in his work, including the people, natural beauty and landmarks of the region.
		While Bodine's career from when he started to the early 1940s was focused on documenting traditional subjects for the newspaper, such as horse races and visits to the city by notable national and international figures, his individual aesthetic style was readily apparent.

		Steichen was engaged with much that was vital and new in the medium during the 20th century, from a beginning as a Pictorialist photographer through activities in the commercial sector to a position as director of the most prestigious museum photography department in the United States (at the Museum of Modern Art).
		Clarence H. White noticed him in 1900 and soon after brought him to the attention of Stieglitz, with whom he shortly began to collaborate on the installations for the gallery 291 and on the founding of Camera Work, for which he designed the first cover and the initial publicity.
		In his position with Conde Nast from 1922 and also as a free-lance advertising photographer, he explored the vocabulary of the New Objectivity during the 1920s in order to create ingenious advertising and fashion images in what was still a relatively fresh field.

	Priceless Children - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		But Dimock, the curator of Priceless Children, has chosen to tell a different story, one in which "the artistic" and "the social" suffer an a priori separation from one another, as if art were somehow decorative or useless, opposed to or separate from social action.
		This seems an odd strategy for examining the work of an artist such as Hine, whose photography pursued the goal of social change, or Pictorialists such as Day and White, whose work did not directly promote a cause but who were active in socialist circles.
		Dimock's essay uses the lens of an "ideologically powerful concept" called "the priceless child" and finds all the photographers in the show guilty of self-indulgent artmaking at the expense of their social ideals.

	Priceless Children: American Photographs 1890-1925 : Child Labor and the Pictorialist Ideal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Lewis Hine's pioneering documentation of immigration and child labor are compared and contrasted with the Pictorialist work by six of his contemporaries: F. Holland Day, Gertrude Käsebier, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, and Clarence White.
		Hine's working-class children, portrayed for reform-minded audiences as victims of harshly inhumane conditions, often display a freedom, exuberance, sociability, and autonomy that their more privileged and closely guarded peers might well have envied.
		This book suggests that establishing the value of the "priceless child," part of whose history can be seen in photographs, is an always-unfinished project.
