In 1951, Otto Steinert shot, from the viola, a borrosa photograph of a ballet of coaches alrededor of the Arco del Triunfo; Veinticinco años más later, Jan Groover came up with a series of images of circulating carriages.
The resulting capture of the motion (the “motion blur") You can see the antiquated in comparison with the pumps or filters installed, which are used and abused over the day.

Variando según la moda y suos usos (most o menos narrativo o atmospheric…), esta estética del desenfoque aparece desde los origins de la fotografía, como demuestran las 400 obras gathered in the flamante museo de fotografía de Lausana, Photo Elysée.

From the iconic composition with figures and this one on a beach by Florence Henri (ca. 1930) has the irresistible vista of the Alps by Bernard Plossu (ca. 1970), from the opaque rostros by Murielle Michetti-Baumgartner (2005) has the hipnótico Fuego and furia from the Apocalyptic-Post series by Catherine Leutenegger (2022), we are happily immersed in this art of misification and idealization.

Man Ray, who through deformations, extended exposures or special exposures that produce extra and intense sensations, allows us to transmit this emotion so usefully that it has the ability to analyze […] The new photos of ours, the new photos of ours”, reza Claude Heymann (in 1926) in the catalog ¹ that accompanies the exhibition and meals all the desenfoques, from the “desenfoque pictorialista” of the beginnings of photography until the “desenfoque contemporáneo” passed by the “desenfoque experimental de las vanguardias”.
