Karl Oskar Gallery’s upcoming exhibition Photospiel explores the interplay between photography and painting. Beginning in the late 19th Century with the great German painters Franz Defregger and Franz von Lenbach, who began to use the still nascent medium of photography as source material for their paintings; the exhibition then moves on to modern day photographers incorporating the long tradition of painting in their work, and painters moving into the digital age.
