Hippolyte Bayard: A Persistent Pioneer @ Getty Center


Hippolyte Bayard: A Persistent Pioneer
April 9 –July 7, 2024

“Parisian bureaucrat by day and tireless inventor after hours, Hippolyte Bayard (French, 1801-1887) was one of the most important, if now lesser-known, pioneers of photography. During his thirty-year career, he invented the direct positive process and several other photographic techniques on paper.

Hippolyte Bayard: A Persistent Pioneer, on view April 9 –July 7, 2024, at the Getty Center, presents a rare chance to view examples of Bayard’s pioneering work, all made between the 1830s and 1860s. Most of these photographs come from the Getty Museum’s Bayard album, one of the first photographic albums ever created. ”
