Product Overview

Artists discovered and explored the artistic and practical applications of photography at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. This stunning book explores the highly individual ways some of the most influential artists of the period put this wondrous new medium to use in their painting and sculpture and shows how they enfolded photographs into their creative processes.

Paintings, sculpture, and photographs by such artists as Bonnard, Brancusi, Degas, Gauguin, Khnopff, Moreau, Mucha, Munch, Picasso, Rodin, Rosso, Vallotton, von Stuck, and Vuillard are discussed and reproduced. The book also includes an array of photographs by great masters (Steichen, Nadar, Muybridge) and lesser-known figures.
