Heinrich Kühn (1866 - 1944) - photo 1

Heinrich Kühn

Carl Christian Heinrich Kühn was an Austrian–German photographer and photography pioneer.

Heinrich Kühn is regarded one of the forefathers of fine art photography, the movement that helped photography to establish itself as an art on its own. His photographs closely resemble impressionist paintings, with their frequent use of soft lighting and focus. Kühn was part of the pictorialist photographic movement.

Kühn mainly used the gum bichromate technique, applied in several layers, and thus allowing for previously unseen color tonalities.
