The Stieglitz mystique
In May 1983, a stunningly comprehensive exhibition of the Photo-Secession opened at the Currier Gallery of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire. Jointly curated by Robert Doty, Director of the Currier Gallery, and Dr William Innes Homer of the University of Delaware, the exhibition was a rare opportunity to study the lesser-known Pictorialists in the context of the more famous masters like Stieglitz, Clarence White, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Edward Steic…
F. Holland Day's ‘Nubians’
In the October 1897 issue of his newly-founded journal, Camera Notes, Alfred Stieglitz began to publish a remarkable series of ‘Nubian’ portraits. They were by F. Holland Day, the Boston photographer whose innovative and dramatic images of young women had already established his reputation internationally. Greatly admired by Stieglitz, Day's ‘Nubian’ series was afforded the most painstaking attention, and reproduced in the expensive process of ph…

The Enigmas of Timothy O'Sullivan
The relationship of aesthetic ideologies to the characteristics of 19th-century landscape photography is increasingly coming under the scrutiny of scholars and critics. Leaving the labyrinth of semiotics, re-entering the once-scorned precincts of the history of aesthetics, historians of photography are seeking clues to the mindset of explorers like Timothy O'Sullivan

The highest form of art
If anyone still believes that Alfred Stieglitz's vaunted Photo-Secession sprang up, full-grown, like Pallas Athena from the forehead of Zeus, armed and ready to do battle for the recognition of photography as a fine art, much recent scholarship considerably revises that flattering view. The predecessors of the American Photo-Secession were strongly developed European societies and movements, among them the earnestly aesthetic Linked Ring Brotherh…

It has been said that you can tell a man by the company he keeps. It has also been said that you cannot tell a man by the books in his library. That each of these statements can be equally true or false, depending on circumstances, may help to explain why Weston Naef's sumptuous compendium has the fascination of the maze at Hampton Court.

Technology or Aesthetics
Critics and historians of photography, as well as practitioners of the photographic arts, are inevitably drawn to investigating the interconnections between technology and aesthetics, between the choices which artists make in the formal elements of their work and the characteristics of the artistic media available to them at any particular period of history. Yet many of the issues involved in these interconnections still seek resolution, as any i…

On Photomorality
Susan Sontag has been one of America's most influential and admired critics of literature, popular culture, and aspects of the fine arts. Her essays on pornography, 1950s science fiction films, and ‘new sensibilities’, are quoted on every college campus. Changes in her aesthetic or moral posture are registered by academicians with the same alarm with which financiers greet vacillations on Wall Street. For a trend-setting wordsmith, it is somewhat…
The court at 291
Alfred Stieglitz is a cult figure, a grand totem of modern painting, with a deserved reputation as one of the major catalysts of abstract art in America. Divesting his reputation as a photographer from the remarkable aura of glory which surrounds his persona as gallery owner is almost impossible, for, as the founder of the legendary ‘291’, he introduced a succession of major European and American artists to a philistine public. As William Homer o…
Camera and conscience
In 1934, a group of ardent admirers published America & Alfred Stieglitz, a eulogy of such Whitmanesque hyperbole that it is almost embarrassing to recall that Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) was still very much alive, and would, indeed, live on for another decade, well nourished by such loving encomiums. By contrast, the fate of his contemporary Lewis Hine (1874–1940), a documentarian of genius and human compassion matched only by David Octavius Hi…
The studio studied
The reader is beckoned into this enjoyable ‘browser’ by the front cover's promise of ‘Unique Portraits of the Makers of the High Victorian Age’. Of necessity, one pauses before joining such august company, for it could be either the vaunted haughtiness of the High Victorians or their scandalous naughtiness which awaits us within. Scented and contradictory phrases at once come tumbling to mind, all redolent of nobility and floridity, banality and …
From the studio to the snapshot
In his justly famous work, Looking at Photographs, John Szarkowski remarked1 that ‘Photography has learned about its nature not only from the great masters, but also from the simple and radical works of photographers of modest aspiration and small renown ....’. It is thanks to critics like Szarkowski that we are encouraged to view photographs on their own terms, instead of always having to compare them to the rigid aesthetic hierarchies of Hochku…
