Pictorialism

Japanese: ピクトリアリズム(英語表記)pictorialism
Pictorialism
A photographic term. Translated into Japanese as "pictorialism." Refers to a style of photography that follows established pictorial themes (landscapes, still lifes, portraits, etc.) and methods (composition, etc.) modeled on painting art. It was particularly popular in the UK from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, but gradually it gained a global influence, and in Japan from the Meiji to Taisho periods, this type of "artistic" photography occupied a central position in photographic expression. In Japan, a distinctive feature of the early period was the strong influence of ink painting and haiku painting.

Japanese:
写真用語。〈絵画主義〉と邦訳される。絵画芸術を手本として,既成の絵画的な主題(風景,静物,肖像など)や方法(構図など)に追従した写真の様式をいう。特に19世紀末から20世紀の初めにかけて,イギリスを中心にしてさかんであったが,しだいに世界的な影響を与え,日本でも明治から大正期にかけて,そのような〈芸術的〉な写真が写真表現の中心的な位置を占めた。日本ではとくに水墨画や俳画の影響の強いことが初期における特色である。
