Description: | A photograph of the dancer Clotilde von Derp (1892-1974), taken by Rudolf D�hrkoop (1848-1918) and Minya Diez-Duhrkoop (1873-1929), in 1913. In this portrait D�hrkoop has emphasised his subject by reducing the background to a cloudy blur. The Bromoil process used to print the photograph encouraged artistic interpretation. It allowed the photographer to emphasise or omit areas of the print. Bromoil thus became a favourite process with the Pictorialist photographers of the first half of the twentieth century. Clotilde and her Ukrainian husband Alexander Sacharoff (1886-1963) were both noted avant-garde dancers. They were part of the German 'Blaue Reiter Circle', a radical artistic group who attempted to combine painting, music and dance. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph bromoil print | Temporal: | 1912 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | D�hrkoop, Rudolf (1848-1918) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20012 | Go to resource |
