Description: | K�sebier initially took photographs of her family but in 1897 opened a commercial photographic studio in New York. Coming to photography from painting, her work references both art history and painterly effects. This was typical of the Secessionist movement's photography around 1900. In 1903 Stieglitz included numerous examples of her prints in the first issue of 'Camera Work', the journal that became closely associated with experimental art photography. Kasebier is known for her ability to convey the personalities of her subjects and for her innovative approach to image manipulation. She achieved almost 'opalescent' effects through a variety of brushwork on the surface of prints and negatives. She also experimented with platinum, gum bichromate and silver printing. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph platinum print | Temporal: | c. 1903 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | K�sebier, Gertrude (1852-1934) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20526 | Go to resource |
