The emergence and development of pure photography

To some extent, some ideas of purists and "hybrids" of formalism and naturalism in the workshop later evolved into "new objectivism". However, this genre has promoted people's exploration and research on the characteristics and performance skills of photography to a certain extent. Pure photographers deliberately pursue the so-called "photographic quality": accurately, directly, subtly and naturally express the light, color, line, shape, grain and quality of the subject, without any other modeling art media. The works in the late period of Pure School developed towards the abstraction of lines, patterns and distorted images.
