A
photogram is a filmless photographic print made (therefore)
without a camera.
It
is produced in a darkroom by placing objects on light-sensitive
paper to impart their images, the paper then exposed and
developed in the usual manner.
Photograms
became popular in 1920's Europe and soon thereafter they
were appreciated in the U.S. as well.
Since
the novelty of color photography was realized, this black
& white art form has enjoyed renewed interest today
by artists and viewers alike.
