The article discusses the works of photographer-critic Peter Henry Emerson and how he links photography to a variety of concepts in science. It mentions that critics viewed Emerson as a person whose mind was too animated and too patrician. However, the author argues that Emerson was more of an intellectual scholar who intermingled contemporary writing to his general thesis on art and photography. Emerson embraced the teachings of Hermann von Helmontz. Like Emile Zola, he associated science with arts and wrote that science will be free from irrational and the supernatural through the experimental method. Emerson believes that modern physiology disclosed the fundamentals of aesthetics. |
