Description: | A photogravure of a young woman sitting in a domestic interior, taken by Clarence White (1871-1925) in 1899. This photogravure was one of several of Clarence White's photographs that received high praise in an exhibition of American photography displayed in the Gallery of the Royal Photographic Society in 1900. The photograph has an air of reflection and melancholy, reinforced by White's trademark subtle use of light. White was a self-taught American photographer from a poor background who made bold use of light in his photographs, sometimes even pointing his camera directly into the sun or into dark shadows. A Photo Secessionist and member of the Linked Ring Brotherhood he also founded the Pictorial Photographers' Association. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photogravure | Temporal: | 1899 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | White, Clarence Hudson (1871-1925) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20005 | Go to resource |
