Pictorialism or “Art Photography” is a photographic movement
that was formed in the early years of the 20th century. Among
the methods used were soft focus, special filters, lens
coatings, and exotic printing processes. Later on rough-
surface printing papers were added to the repertoire, to further
break up a picture's sharpness. The aim of such techniques
was to achieve "personal artistic expression".
One of the most important publications that promoted
Pictorialism was Alfred Stieglitz's "Camera Work" 1903 - 1917.
The contemporary American portraitist Sally Mann revisited the
pictorialist style in her 2003 book What Remains.
