A NEW ART GEBUNDEN

This lavishly illustrated volume looks at the myriad ways in which the burgeoning art of
photography dialogued with Impressionist painting. In the 19th century  numerous photographers
chose the same motifs as Impressionist painters: the forest of Fontainebleau  the cliffs of
Étretat or the modern metropolis of Paris. They  too  studied the changing light  seasons and
weather conditions. From its inception  photographers pursued artistic ambitions  as evidenced
by their experimentation with composition and perspective  by means of various technical
procedures. Until the First World War  the relationship between photography and painting was
characterized both by competition and mutual influence. The exhibition and catalogue examine
these interactions and illuminate the development of the new medium from the 1850s to its
establishment as an autonomous art form around 1900.
