The Honest Landscape: Photographs by Peter Henry Emerson
Robert Mondavi Family Gallery
Englishman Peter Henry Emerson began taking photographs in 1882 and soon became an outspoken and highly influential Potaotesadvocate for fine art photography. He promoted photographs made without darkroom manipulation, and 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. Approximately 25 works on display. IMAGE: Peter Henry Emerson (England, b. Cuba, 1856–1936), Young Woman Peeling Potatoes, 1887. Photogravure. Gift of William Rubel, 1982.334.1.

Photography Not Art, Le naturalisme selon P.H. Emerson (1886-1895)
En 1895, dix ans seulement après avoir abandonné la médecine pour la photographie, Peter Henry Emerson publie Marsh Leaves [Feuilles des marais], son dernier livre illustré. Il est aujourd'hui difficile d'imaginer ce qu'un lecteur a pu alors éprouver face aux paysages qu'il contient, aussi dépouillés et évanescents qu'étaient denses, terriennes et incarnées les images de Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads [Vie et paysages dans les marais du Norfolk], son premier recueil paru en 1886.
Entre les deux se dessine une évolution manifeste, du modèle pictural de Jean-François Millet à celui de James Abbott Mc Neill Whistler et de l'art japonais, du propos documentaire à la poésie pure. Si l'oeil d... - Exposition
