About

Discover how pictorialism, the first international art photography movement, developed across the world from the 1880s to the 1960s. Bringing together over 50 artists from Seoul to Sydney, New York to Cape Town and Brazil to Singapore, this truly international exhibition takes a fresh and inclusive look at the history of art photography. Featuring never-before seen works from around the world alongside pieces from Tate's Collection, Light and Magic highlights the vast and varied artistic possibilities of photography as a medium.
