LICHEN PHOTOGRAPH* CENTER AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART May 196^ Opening When the Edward Jf. Steichen Photography Center at The Museum of Modern Art opened in May 196^, photography assumed increased prominence in the Museum's program. The Mueeum initially exhibited photographs in 1952, three years after the insti­ tution was founded,and began to acquire them for the Collection in 1953. *n 19^0> *c became the first art museum to establish a curatorial department devoted exclusively to this medium. But it is only now with the addition of the new Photography Center that the Department has permanent exhibition space and accessible study-storage so that its outstanding collection of photographs can be consulted and viewed as a back­ ground to the program of temporary loan shows. Describing the role of the Museum in this medium, John Szarkowski, Director of the Department since 1962 says: "The...photography program of The Museum of Modern Art is as unpredictable as the outcome of the searches and experiments of a thousand serious photographers. The Museum will try to remain alertly responsive to these searches, and to seek out and publish that work which makes a relevant human state­ ment with the intensity that identifies a work of art." The Photography Collection, unique in the world, consists of about 7,000 prints ty 1,000 photographers, ranging from the 18^'s to the present, with emphasis on 20th century work.

  • Platinum, Silver- Platinum, and Palladium Prints
    Noble Metals for the Early Modern Era: Platinum, Silver- Platinum, and Palladium Prints Constance Mc Cabe Histories of photography usually emphasize the photogra- phers’ command of the camera and the resulting pictures while offering little insight into the extensive chemical and technical artistry performed in studios and darkrooms. Research into the materials and methods behind photo- graphic prints, however, can shed light on the aesthetic goals of the photographers and help to determine which properties are the result of artistic decisions and which might be the natural effects of aging. By studying the array of platinum, silver- platinum, and palladium prints in the Thomas Walther Collection, we are given an opportunity to appreciate how photographers in the early twentieth cen- tury manipulated materials and chemicals to achieve a quasi-modern aesthetic. The aesthetic benchmark for many photographers at the dawn of the twentieth century was the platinum print, extolled for its unparalleled artistic qualities and perma- nence. Alfred Stieglitz (1864–​­1946) and Clarence H. White (1871–​­1925), both highly influential photographers and lead- ers of Pictorialism, a movement championing photography as fine art, praised platinum as the ideal photographic medium for their exhibition prints. Their disciples contin- ued to test the medium for new and unusual effects, exploiting such curiosities as multiple exposures, tone reversal, and solarization, and exploring unconventional compositional elements and abstraction. Highly attuned to the technical craft of their work, they investigated myriad products and chemical modifications to achieve their artistic fig. 1 Alfred Stieglitz. From the Back Window at “291”.

    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

  • The Language of the Camera Eye Ansel Adams and Beaumont Newhall
    The Language of the Camera Eye Ansel Adams and Beaumont Newhall Nancy Newhall (1908 - 1974) Ansel Adams, Death Valley , 1947 The contributions of Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984) to further photography’s acceptance as an art form are many. Besides his artistic works, he spent much of his time educating photographers in both the technical aspects of the medium and the formal aspects of image making. His highly technical system of exposure and development called the Zone System offered photographers the ability to control the tonalities in an image to the point that one could turn black to white or white to black. This complex system of understanding exposure and development when using traditional black and white materials liberated photographers from the technical side of things to concentrate fully on the image. To my mind, Ansel Adams was the pioneer of what we call “The Photo Workshop”. For years his Yosemite workshops educated photographers not just in technique but also in the Art of Photography and what life as a photographer looks like. His tireless efforts and generosity with his students are legendary. Ansel was also an author. Publications of his own work are well known, but, in the late forties Adams, along with his co-author Robert Baker, began publishing The Basic Photo Series. Ansel devoted each of the five volumes to one essential aspect of the medium and explained it in depth: Camera and Lens, The Negative, The Print, and Natural Light and Artificial Light. In the day, these books were “required” reading and I don’t think I ever entered someone’s darkroom or studio without seeing them on a shelf.
