Known primarily as painters and printmakers, a group of post-impressionist artists experimented with photography for their private use, interpreting the new medium and producing surprising, inventive results. This exhibition debuts many previously unpublished photographs taken by painters including Pierre Bonnard , Felix Vallotton, and Edouard Vuillard with the hand-held Kodak during the 1890s. Approximately 200 photographs, 40 paintings, and 60 works on paper integrate the histories of painting and photography, and explore the inspiration afforded by the new medium in such subjects as domestic interiors, city streets, nudes, and portraiture. Organized by The Phillips Collection , the Van Gogh Museum , and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
