On September 5, the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum opened “From TFAM’s Private Collection of Photographic Art: An Introduction to 19th Century Pictorialism” exhibition. It is being held as an accompanying event to the “Genius and Ambition: The Royal Academy of Arts, London 1768-1918” exhibition that will open at the museum from September 17.
Pictorialism is a movement that was popular from the late 19th to early-20th century, a style characterized by photographs that have been “manipulated” to create a work that is more than just a reproduction of reality. Some 30 works, drawn from British photographers, will be on display from the TFAM collection (photograph by Peter Henry Emerson, 1886)
