IMPRESSIONISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY


Yep, weird.

 

I got here by staring at this arresting image at the Museum of Modern Art:

The Hand of Man by Stieglitz  1902  https://www.nga.gov/artworks/204671-hand-man

The soft, moody image “takes a cue from Monet’s Impressionist paintings.”

 

That led to being shown the work of Eva Polack, a contemporary artist who creates Impressionistic Photography. I’ve recently become enamored of her work.

Yep, ICM is weird and different. It breaks the rules. Sharp focus is not the be-all and end-all.  John showed me ICM for the first time ever. It definitely is a different photographic mindset.
