Pittorialismo e cento anni di fotografia pittorica in Italia

This anthology of around 100 photographs, pictorialist both in aura and technique, falls into a period that ranges from the years of Daguerre and his invention to the 1930s. It was then, with photojournalism coming into vogue, that this ideological tendency slowly waned. The book includes works by some of the most significant and famous nineteenth and early twentiethcentury photographers, including the PreRaphaelite pioneers Oscar Gustaf Rejlander, Julia Margaret Cameron, Lewis Carrol, and the French photographers Robert Decachy, Costant Puyo as well as an extensive selection of Italian pictorialists, ranging from Guido Rey to Mario Castagneri, Carlo Wulz to Silvio Maria Buratti, Emilio Sommaria to Domenico Riccardo PerettiGriva.
