This Jerry Uelsmann print is made entirely in the darkroom — no Photoshop, no compositing software, just multiple negatives, multiple enlargers, and Uelsmann’s extraordinary technical mastery of the wet darkroom process. The Uelsmann rowboat print places a boat within a landscape assembled from several different source images, the joins invisible, the logic internal, the world it depicts coherent on its own impossible terms. This Jerry Uelsmann print is surreal photography art that pre-dates digital manipulation by decades and makes it look unnecessary. This darkroom composite print is black and white surreal photo work of genuine historical and aesthetic importance.

Uelsmann began developing his multiple-printing technique in the 1960s at the University of Florida, where he taught for decades, and his body of work stands as one of the most technically demanding and visually original contributions to American fine art photography. His images were surreal before surreal photography was an Instagram filter.
