Miss Mary and Edeltrude Lying in the Grass 1910

"Miss Mary and Edeltrude Lying in the Grass" (1910) by Heinrich Kuhn is a pictorialist photograph. Kuhn was a German photographer who was a prominent member of the Photo-Secession movement, which emphasized artistic expression and subjective interpretation in photography. This image captures a sense of intimacy and tranquility as two figures rest in a grassy field, their faces obscured by large straw hats. The soft focus and tonal range typical of pictorialist photography contribute to the dreamy, nostalgic atmosphere.
