photostat, photographic

The title "Masterpieces From the State Tretyakov Gallery--Unforgettable Russia" well fits the current show of images now on at the Bunkamura Museum of Art in Tokyo's Shibuya.

While none of us were around back in the 19th century, this show succeeds remarkably in making imperial Russia seem a place drawn from a collective memory.

The effect is strangely photographic, despite the fact that it's made up entirely of paintings.

Columbia Encyclopedia: photostat

(fō'təstăt') , reproduction of any printed or simple black-and-white material, such as drawings or manuscripts, made by the Photostat, a photographic camera. While slower and more expensive than xerography, the process is still used where a high degree of resolution is desired, as in publishing.
