Clarence Holland White

Ah Pictorialism.
The graininess, the softness of diffusion. Skin glowing in murkiness. There is something marvelous in this type of style. Was it due to industrialism, the coming depression, the oddity of the 1920's or just a rebellion against the sterility of improving technology? Perhaps it was the true vision of near-sighted artists. (I jest a bit here).

I feel deeply akin to this genre.
