About the photographer, Frederick Holland DAY (1864-1933):
Frederick Holland DAY was a photographer who promoted pictorialism, a turn-of-the-20th-century movement in photography that used softly focused images and often imitated the subject matter and compositions of academic painting.
DAY's photographs mostly emphasize the male form and classical themes. (...) Frederick Holland DAY was distinguished by the middle 1890s in both fine book publishing and in pictorial photography through the major American and European photography salons. Controversy surrounded his defense of the nude, his exhibition of sacred subjects, and his self-portraits as Christ.
About the editor:
