Heinrich Kühn-p.3

[elle_belle10]

Heinrich Kuehn-German photographer and scientist, doctor of medicine. Counted among the most important representatives of the international Pictorialist movement around 1900. Kühn was also an author of technical literature and temporary operator of a school for artistic photography. After relocating to Innsbruck from his hometown Dresden, Kühn devoted himself to photography completely around 1888. After 1895, close co-operation with Hans Watzek (1848 - 1903) and Hugo Henneberg (1863 - 1918) in the Austrian photographer's group "Trifolium" or "Kleeblatt". The combination gum bichromate printing, which Kühn developed around 1896, was considered an adequate process for the communication of the aesthetics of Pictorialism, which so closely followed a painterly style. As late as 1926, Kühn introduced the soft-focus lens "Imagon" to achieve an "artistic blurring" in the photographic image. After 1907, he also experimented with colour photography, particularly with the Autochrome process of the Lumière brothers.

"Генрих Кюн был значимой фигурой пикториальной фотографии: одним из тех, кто в переломное для творческой среды время отстаивал фотографию как отдельную форму искусства. Его работы, в большинстве своем, посвящены съемке портретов и пейзажей. Причем, как и многие художники начала XX века, Генрих в своих снимках делал акцент не на детализации изображения, а скорее на чувственной и эмоциональной составляющей. Он внес существенный вклад в изучение практики цветной фотографии, был одним из тех, кто разрабатывал новые технологии в сфере визуального искусства. После себя Кюн оставил около 260 автохромов - цветных растровых фотографических пластин братьев Люмьер. "(c)
