Heinrich Kuehn
(1866 - 1944)
German photographer and scientist, doctor
of medicine. Counted among the most important representatives of the
international Pictorialist movement around 1900. Kühn was also an author
of technical literature and temporary operator of a school for artistic
photography. After relocating to Innsbruck from his hometown Dresden, Kühn
devoted himself to photography completely around 1888. After 1895, close
co-operation with Hans Watzek (1848 - 1903) and Hugo Henneberg (1863 -
1918) in the Austrian photographer's group "Trifolium" or "Kleeblatt". The
combination gum bichromate printing, which Kühn developed around 1896, was
considered an adequate process for the communication of the aesthetics of
Pictorialism, which so closely followed a painterly style. As late as
1926, Kühn introduced the soft-focus lens "Imagon" to achieve an "artistic
blurring" in the photographic image. After 1907, he also experimented with
colour photography, particularly with the Autochrome process of the
Lumière brothers.
