Description: Heule: Snoeck, 2015. 30cm., hardcover, 224pp., 170 illus. French-English-Dutch text. Exhibition held at Musée des Beaux Arts, Ghent. Summary: At the MSK, the spring of 2015 is dedicated to Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879). Cameron was one of the leading and most innovative photographers of the nineteenth century. She is probably best known for her powerful portraits. She also placed the models she asked to sit for her – friends, relatives and servants – in a Biblical, historical and allegorical context. Her photographs were groundbreaking for several reasons: Cameron deliberately made them blurred and out of focus, containing small scratches, spots and other marks of the production process. Although she was criticized for her unconventional approach, the beauty of her compositions and her dedication to photography as an art form also earned her considerable admiration. 2015 marks the 200th anniversary of Cameron’s birth and the 150th anniversary of her first exhibition in 1865 at the former South Kensington Museum in London (the present Victoria and Albert Museum). The MSK is the only museum in mainland Europe to celebrate this double anniversary with the special exhibition ‘Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879), pioneer of photography’. The works on display are taken from the rich photography collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
