ROGER HUMBERT | GENERATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

Roger Humbert (1929–2022) was a Swiss pioneer of Concrete Photography whose unique artistic approach, beginning in the 1950s, focused on the manipulation of light, structure, and the photographic development process. Humbert’s early works, including his photograms and luminograms, rejected the use of a camera or lens, creating abstract light compositions without reference to external subjects. His work aligns with influential art movements such as Vorticism and the Bauhaus, earning him international recognition.
