Edward Steichen Moonrise—Mamaroneck, New York, 1904 Gum bichromate over platinum& ferroprusiate print MoMA, Floor 5, 504 “Blurring the line between photography& painting, Steichen’s efforts epitomize the pictorialist impulse to champion photography as an art form, rather than merely a direct record of reality. The luminosity is achieved by using the same negative with different photographic processes& rubbing away portions of the image to expose the bright paper in the moon& between the trees.”
