English term or phrase: Purist Pictorialism
At the end of 1921, the premises of the Czech Amateur Photographer’s Club hosted an exhibition of work by Drahomír Josef Růžička, a Czech-American, who as an active member of the U.S. photographic movement pioneered the direct image photography promoted by Alfred Stieglitz and Clarence H. White. Růžička’s own work showed an apparent inclination toward themes, motifs, composition, an emphasis on illumination effects as well as the employment of soft-focus objectives influenced by Impressionist and Art Nouveau Pictorialism, however; by rejecting pigment processes and by applying the non-interference principle to the process of working with negatives, his work may already be classified as so-called Purist Pictorialism. Růžička’s work strongly influenced especially his younger contemporaries, who, following his example, began to favour gelatine silver prints.

Puristischer Pictorialismus
Explanation:
scheint als Übersetzung hier geboten. Dabei handelt es sich offenkundig weniger um einen allgemein anerkannten Begriff, als vielmehr um eine Wortschöpfung des Autoren/der Autorin, die den spezifisch puristischen Eigenarten des Pictorialismus von Růžička - etwa dem Verzicht auf Pigmentprozesse - Rechnung tragen soll.

agree  Horst Huber (X): Doch besser in Anführungszeichen.
5 hrs
  -> Vielen Dank. "Puristisch" könnte man durchaus in Anführungszeichen setzen, um deutlich zu machen, dass es sich um eine Form des Pictorialismus handelt, deren Bezeichnung vom Autor/von der Autorin stammt.
