DescriptionImage of a man with a beard. Mounted on original tissue mount and framed.Gallery Label
This portrait of the sculptor Rodin-probably the most celebrated artist of his era-reflects the subjectivity of the art-photography movement known as Pictorialism. By throwing her lens slightly out of focus and printing her negative on a sensitized sheet of tissue paper, Gertrude Käsebier creates an image that is at once bold and ephemeral, descriptive and other-worldly.
