The term "Neo-Pictorialism" has actually been around quite a long
time. The first time I remember seeing it used in print was in an
article published by David Brooks, "Neopictorialism", in the January
1983 issue of the Journal of American Photography. Perhaps others
can cite even older uses of the term.
