What do gardening and early photography have in common? They both involve a little bit of wonder. 🔈Sound on. “Hippolyte Bayard was a 19th-century inventor of photography; he had no set instructions to follow for making a photograph. He had to be in tune with his environment," says curatorial assistant Carolyn Peter. "Bayard’s self-portraits were some the first photographs of human beings ever made. Seeing an image of himself emerge on the paper must have been magical. Such a revolution took place in the quiet chamber of Bayard’s camera in the middle of his garden." We asked Getty staff to reflect on artworks that reminded them of their lives at home under these unusual circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
