The essential tool of the photographic process is not the camera but the light-sensitive layer. László Moholy-Nagy

With the advent of photography in 1839, painting underwent a radical transformation. Nowadays, the digital process is revolutionizing photography. The chemigram, fusion of painting and photography, is most likely the ultimate adventure of gelatin silver bromide. Pierre Cordier

Invented in 1956 by Pierre Cordier, the chemigram* combines the physics of painting (varnish, wax, oil) and the chemistry of photography (photosensitive emulsion, developer, fixer); without a camera, without an enlarger, and in full light *.

* Definition and terms chemigram in English, Dutch & Flemish, Chemigramm in German, chimigramma in Italian, chimigramme in French (1958), quimigrama in Spanish & in Portuguese; photo-chemigram (1963), auto-chemigram (1979), localizing product are by Pierre Cordier.

Robert Ryman (born May 30, 1930) is an American painter identified with the movements of monochrome painting, minimalism, and conceptual art. The majority of his works feature abstract expressionist-influenced brushwork in white or off-white paint on square canvas or metal surfaces. In 1992, a major touring retrospective of Ryman's paintings was mounted by the Museum of Modern Art and the Tate Gallery. He has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1994. Hallen für Neue Kunst, a contemporary art museum in Schaffhausen, Switzerland has the largest public collection of Ryman's work, permanently exhibiting 29 pieces created from 1959 to 2007.
