The advent of the Kodak camera in 1888 made photography accessible to amateurs as well as to professionals. Artists were not immune to its allure, & many began experimenting with the camera as a means of capturing images as studies for final works & of observing the world & the people in it. ” Snapshot” investigates seven Post-Impressionist painters & printmakers: Pierre Bonnard, George Hendrik Breitner, Maurice Denis, Henri Evenepoel, Henri Riviere, Felix Vallotton, & Edouard Vuillard. Although celebrated for their works on canvas & paper, these artists also made many personal & informal snapshots. Depicting a wide range of subjects, including interiors, city streets, nudes, & portraits, these photographs were kept private & were never exhibited.
