Description
CLOSED MONDAY & TUESDAY.Englishman Peter Henry Emerson began taking photographs in 1882 and soon became an outspoken and highly influential advocate for fine art photography. He promoted photographs made without darkroom manipulation. He also wanted the medium to be recognized on its own terms—not as a mechanical imitation of painting. This installation presents a selection of Emerson's lushly beautiful platinum prints and photogravures featuring the English and Irish countryside. Images of villages, rivers, farmers, and fishermen capture the picturesque and harmonious coexistence of man with nature. Eighteen works on display.
