The contact sheet is a twentieth-century phenomenon.Description
The contact sheet—a piece of photographic paper which contains positive prints of some or all of the negatives on a roll of film—was necessitated by the advent of roll film, which produced small negatives, and rendered obsolete with the advent of digital photography. Having access to a photographer’s contact reveals the artist's thoughts and working processes.- Mark Schwartz + Bettina Katz, Cleveland, OHMarch 2, 2020the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
