Photographing in Normandy 1840-1890 - A pioneering dialogue between the arts - Exhibition catalog

WRITTEN IN FRENCH

While photography now allowed them to capture reality, painters and photographers could abandon it in favor of art.
From 1840, this dialogue between photography and pictorial art testifies to a production of images marked by the spirit of invention and modernity.

An ideal place to measure this reciprocal influence, Normandy holds a special place in the history of photography, as it has attracted so many photographers. Norman pioneers (Brébisson, Humbert de Molard, Bacot, Macaire...) English travelers (Talbot, Ruskin, Tenison...), Parisian photographers (Le Gray, Bayard, Colliau, Davanne, Franck...) and enlightened amateurs (Coulon, Magny, Lepel- Cointet...), everyone met in the ports, facing the sea, on the beaches, in the countryside or in the shadow of a rediscovered Norman heritage.

Thanks to recently enriched public collections, and the passion of private collectors, these photographic masterpieces are brought together for the first time in this work alongside major paintings.
