In the 1830s, William Fox Talbot, a pioneer of photography, started making photograms of plants, which he referred to
as ‘Photogenic Drawings’.

Any object can be placed on photographic paper and exposed to light. However, transparent objects and objects with interesting silhouettes are more effective.

Most photograms made in the 1800s were documentary experiments and it wasn’t until the Modernist movement in the 20th Century that artists started to make photograms as art works focusing on form, movement, space. Many of these artists were part of the Bauhaus movement in Germany.
