Label texts

Archive Label 2003: Photography was still struggling for recognition as a form of art in the beginning of the twentieth century. By photographing Rodin, Käsebier associates both herself and her medium with an established artist and his sculpture. Käsebier and other photographers attempted to make their images more pictorial, that is, more like paintings. Käsebier manipulates the photograph to eliminate detail.
