Robert Demachy - Blue Veil Draped Nude - Nu drapé voile bleu - c1907-15
At first glance, the compositions of Robert Demachy look very much like charcoal drawings, but they are indeed photographs, intensely manipulated to produce such visual impact. A prominent pictorialist of the early 20th century, the French artist was also the director of the Photo-Club de Paris, the French parallel to the American Photo-Secession, as well as the Viennese Kleeblatt and the British Brotherhood of the Linked Ring. His pictorial photographs couldn’t be farther from snapshots as they were produced using revived non-standard photographic processes, such as the gum bichromate which let artists color and apply brushwork into the image. Robert Demachy also wrote extensively on photographic technique and aesthetics, including six books and more than one thousand articles - Jacqueline Clyde and Angie Kordic
