Curated by Patri ck R. Crowley\, Associate Curator of European Art\, Solid Pictures is the first major exhibition to explore these largely overlooked objects first c onceived in 1859 by the twenty-nine-year-old French artist and inventor Fr ançois Willème. Employing projection technologies and mechanical instrum ents\, Willème and his team of operators translated photographic negative s into solid figures across a variety of media\, aiming to create affordab le portrait sculpture for the burgeoning middle class of Second Empire Fra nce. Though commercially unsuccessful\, these experiments laid the groundw ork for the scanning\, machining\, and printing technologies ubiquitous to day. Bringing together these rare artifacts\, the exhibition opens up a li ttle-known chapter of history to reveal the roots and richness of our cont emporary world. An accompanying catalogue features four newly commissioned essays accompanied by previously unpublished documentation\, deepening ou r understanding of this overlooked chapter in the history of art and techn ology.\n\nImage: François Willème (French\, 1830–1905).

Crowley\, Associate Curator of European Art\, Solid Pictures is the first major exhibition to explore these largely overlooked objects first c onceived in 1859 by the twenty-nine-year-old French artist and inventor Fr ançois Willème. Employing projection technologies and mechanical instrum ents\, Willème and his team of operators translated photographic negative s into solid figures across a variety of media\, aiming to create affordab le portrait sculpture for the burgeoning middle class of Second Empire Fra nce. Though commercially unsuccessful\, these experiments laid the groundw ork for the scanning\, machining\, and printing technologies ubiquitous to day. Bringing together these rare artifacts\, the exhibition opens up a li ttle-known chapter of history to reveal the roots and richness of our cont emporary world. An accompanying catalogue features four newly commissioned essays accompanied by previously unpublished documentation\, deepening ou r understanding of this overlooked chapter in the history of art and techn ology.\n\nImage: François Willème (French\, 1830–1905).

Curated by Patri ck R. Crowley\, Associate Curator of European Art\, Solid Pictures is the first major exhibition to explore these largely overlooked objects first c onceived in 1859 by the twenty-nine-year-old French artist and inventor Fr ançois Willème. Employing projection technologies and mechanical instrum ents\, Willème and his team of operators translated photographic negative s into solid figures across a variety of media\, aiming to create affordab le portrait sculpture for the burgeoning middle class of Second Empire Fra nce. Though commercially unsuccessful\, these experiments laid the groundw ork for the scanning\, machining\, and printing technologies ubiquitous to day. Bringing together these rare artifacts\, the exhibition opens up a li ttle-known chapter of history to reveal the roots and richness of our cont emporary world.

Employing projection technologies and mechanical instrum ents\, Willème and his team of operators translated photographic negative s into solid figures across a variety of media\, aiming to create affordab le portrait sculpture for the burgeoning middle class of Second Empire Fra nce.
