Pictorialism: Artistic Photographs by Elias Goldensky

a photograph bathed in soft focus, where ethereal light and hazy emotions take center stage. This is the essence of Pictorialism, a late 19th and early 20th-century artistic movement that challenged the prevailing notion of photography as a mere recorder of reality. Pictorialists sought to elevate the medium, transforming photographs into evocative artworks that rivaled paintings in their beauty and emotional resonance.
