THE PICTORIAL LIST
Produktinformationen "THE PICTORIAL LIST"
THE PICTORIAL LIST was born with a mission close to its heart: to nurture and celebrate the global community of photographers and visual storytellers. Inspired by the Pictorialist movement, we set out to support photographers worldwide, providing them with a creative platform to share their unique photographic expressions. Our inaugural book is a love letter from our vibrant photography community in the state of New York. From the quiet corners of small towns to the bustling streets of the city, from iconic landmarks to breathtaking landscapes, we celebrate 66 photographers exploring the nuances of New York, capturing the essence of what drives the Pictorialists of today. Let their unique visual storytelling inspire you to rediscover the beautiful diversity of New York in new ways through the lens. Einleitung The Pictorial List was launched in January 2020 out of a profound desire to nurture and celebrate a global community of photographers and visual storytellers. Our mission is to support photographers worldwide giving them a creative platform to share their unique photographic expressions. We delve into the multifaceted realm of photography, exploring its intricacies and magnificence seen through the lens. Pictorialism was an international photography movement that began in the late 1860s and lasted until the early 1900s. Emphasizing photography’s artistic and interpretive qualities over its documentary standards, Pictorialists aimed to reshape society’s perception of photography. They believed in the artistry inherent in the medium, using composition, color, and technique to evoke emotion and imagination. The Photo-Secession movement, founded by Alfred Stieglitz in New York in 1902, aimed to promote photography as a legitimate art form, bringing Pictorialism one step further, establishing photography as a distinct medium with its own unique characteristics and aesthetic principles. The legacy of the Pictorialists endures, inspiring present and future generations to embrace the artistry inherent in photography. The Pictorial List and our community of ingenious photographers have flourished. As we have nurtured and supported our artists, giving them opportunities to grow, they have strengthened our foundation in return. Our global outreach embraces a diverse cross-section of photographers whose images help define the direction of photography across a broad spectrum of genres in the contemporary art world. New York City has been considered the ‘Melting Pot’ of the world, is home to over 8.4 million residents from 200 countries, not to mention the 61.8 million tourists in 2023. You can blend in like a chameleon in New York; even as a tourist, you are among hundreds of thousands of friends. The Pictorial List has seized the days of inspirational New York photography, highlighting some of the absolute best photographers. In the city that never sleeps, there is never a dull moment, and the perfect frame can be found everywhere. This draws photographers from all over the world, while creating new photographers of that day in those moments. There is always a camera or a phone pointed in one direction or another; the camera has become a common thread integrated into the very fabric of the city. The early Pictorialists in New York planted the seeds that took root and were passionately nurtured, which have grown into The Pictorial List of today. This subtle reality is the common thread intricately woven into the vibrant tapestry of the city, creating a new reality for The Pictorial List, making the Big Apple the perfect place to launch our first art book. As we continue to grow, so too will our international journey, sharing our support giving our photographers a clear voice, expanding our community of Pictorialists.
