Of Bricks and Light: Details and Glimpses

Description:
Part of the American Museum of Photography, this page is a collection of interpretive photographs of the details of several well-known architectural landmarks. While many early architectural photographs seem to be all-encompassing, no-nonsense frontal views, some photographers took a more interpretive approach. They selected details--a bit of carving, the pattern of light on a stairway--or they captured only a glimpse of a building, as an arriving visitor would first see it emerging from the surrounding landscape. These interpretive pctures were important steps in the development of pictorialist and modernist photography--details and glimpses of architecture, and also of photograph's future.
