Metropolitan Useum Of Miss Caliill THE ETROPOLITAN NEWS USEUM OF ART FOR M RELEASE Friday, May 8, 1959 FIFTH AYE.at82 STREET • NEW YORK TR 9-5500 Press View: Thursday, May 7, 2-4:30 p.m. PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE FINE ARTS, EXHIBIT AT METROPOLITAN MUSEUM Works of 55 contemporary photographers will be exhibited beginning Friday, May 8, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as works of art. A new national project, "Photography in the Fine Arts," will present 85 photo­ graphs (30 color and 55 black & white) chosen by a jury of distinguished exponents of the fine arts, v/ith James J. Rorimer, Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, as chairman. The photographs v/ere selected from 438 nominations submitted by authoritative sources in the field of photography. The exhibit will be on view in a special Photographic Gallery at the Metro­ politan Museum through Labor Day, and it has been proposed that the photographs in it should become a part of the Museum's permanent collections. The project was developed by Ivan Dmitri, noted photographer, under the spon­ sorship of the national weekly magazine SATURDAY REVIEW. It has been in the course of preparation for nine months. Its origin was a column in SATURDAY REVIEW which described Mr. Dmitri's conviction that more museums should collect and display great photographs as art. Response from 21 museum directors indicated wide interest and revealed the need for finding an unbiased method for screening the best work in the field of photography, as is done with contemporary painting. The breadth of the jury for the present exhibition and the final 85 photographic selections are the result. Duplicates of the pictures in this exhibit will be shown throughout the country to help win further recognition for photography as a fine art. It is also hoped that the exhibit will spur interest among other museums and art galleries here and abroad for the establishment of more permanent collections of photographs. The membership of the National Advisory Committee v/hich selected the pictures for display, besides Mr. Rorimer, includes: Frank Baker, Senior Art Director, McCann-Erickson; Dr. Alfred Frankfurter, Editor of ART NEWS; Joyce C. Hall, Presi­ dent of Hallmark Cards; Bartlett H. Hayes, Jr., Director of the Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts; Bryan Holme, Editor of STUDIO Books; Alexander Liberman, Art Director of VOGUE; Stanley Marcus, President of Neiman-Marcus, Dallas, Texas; Grace Mayer, Curator of Prints, Museum of the City of New York; A. Hyatt Mayor, (more) Photography in the Fine Arts--2 Curator of Prints, The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Beaumont Newhall, Director of George Eastman House, Rochester, New York; Aline B. Saarinen, Art Critic of THE NEW YORK TIMES; Dorothy Seiberling, Art Editor of LIFE; Edward Steichen, Director of the Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art. From its inception the project received the support of editors of national magazines, art directors, heads of editorial and industrial libraries, and other experts in the field. They submitted photographs which they believed outstanding enough for inclusion in a museum's permanent collection. The editors of LIFE Maga­ zine, for example, submitted 100 after reviewing the 175,000 photographs that have appeared in the magazine over the past 23 years. ,:The committee by no means regards its selections as the greatest contemporary photographs," said Mr. Dmitri, "but in this first step hopes that it has chosen a well-balanced and stimulating group of fine photographs on v/hich to build. It has in effect, offered this exhibition as visual proof that photography deserves to be ranked among the fine arts." The May 16th issue of SATURDAY REVIEW will be devoted to explaining the purposes of the "Photography in the Fine Arts'1 project. It v/ill publish eight pages of se­ lections from the exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum, both in color and in black- and-white, together v/ith articles evaluating the collection as art and as photography, In the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, the general public as v/ell as specialists in the photographic field v/ill have the opportunity to observe dif­ ferent trends in contemporary picture-making, and various approaches to the creation of outstanding pictures. They also will see the many techniques and textures of the medium, attempts to obtain depth or a third-dimensional quality, the wide-angle versus the telephoto view, and sharp focus versus soft out-of-focus effects. The subjects covered in this exhibition include portraits; anecdotal or subject pictures; emotional images, including tragedy; story-telling pictures; textures with abstract patterns going from small-scale to great v/ide-scale views; mechanistic patterns; and lyrical landscapes. -000- 5/4/59 See following page for list of photographers represented in the exhibition and titles of their pictures.

  • Photography: a Survey of New Reference Sources
    RSR: Reference Services Review. 1987, v.15, p. 47 -54. ISSN: 0090-7324 Weblink to journal. ©1987 Pierian Press Current Surveys Sara K. Weissman, Column Editor Photography: A Survey of New Reference Sources Eleanor S. Block What a difference a few years make! In the fall 1982 issue of Reference Services Review I described forty reference monographs and serial publications on photography. That article concluded with these words, "a careful reader will be aware that not one single encyclopedia or solely biographical source was included... this reviewer could find none in print... A biographical source proved equally elusive" (p.28). Thankfully this statement is no longer valid. Photography reference is greatly advanced and benefited by a number of fine biographical works and a good encyclopedia published in the past two or three years. Most of the materials chosen for this update, as well as those cited in the initial survey article, emphasize the aesthetic nature of photography rather than its scientific or technological facets. A great number of the forty titles in the original article are still in print; others have been updated. Most are as valuable now as they were then for good photography reference selection. However, only those sources published since 1982 or those that were not cited in the original survey have been included. This survey is divided into six sections: Biographies, Dictionaries (Encyclopedias), Bibliographies, Directories, Catalogs, and Indexes. BIOGRAPHIES Three of the reference works cited in this survey have filled such a lamented void in photography reference literature that they stand above the rest in their importance and value.

    9 volume 1 200 DiffusionUnconventional Photography Articles: Profiles: Group Showcase: I’m Often Asked... An Ironic Manifesto Jeffrey Baker Pamela Petro Formerly & Hereafter by Zeb Andrews by Dr. Mike Ware Tina Maas Sika Stanton Plates to Pixels Juried Show Praise for Diffusion, Volume I “Avant-garde, breakthrough and innovative are just three adjectives that describe editor Blue Mitchell’s first foray into the world of fine art photography magazines. Diffusion magazine, tagged as unconventional photography delivers on just that. Volume 1 features the work of Jeffrey Baker, Pamela Petro, Tina Maas and Sika Stanton. With each artist giving you a glimpse into how photography forms an integral part of each of their creative journey. The first issue’s content is rounded out by Zeb Andrews’ and Dr. Mike Ware. Zeb Andrews’ peak through his pin-hole world is complimented by an array of his creations along with the 900 second exposure “Fun Center” as the show piece. And Dr. Mike unscrambles the history of iron-based photographic processes and the importance of the printmaker in the development of a fine art image. At a time when we are seeing a mass migration to on-line publishing and on-line magazine hosting, the editorial team at Diffusion proves you can still deliver an outstanding hard-copy fine art photography magazine. I consumed my copy immediately with delight; now when is the next issue coming out?” - Michael Van der Tol “Regardless of the retrospective approach to the medium of photography, which could be perceived by many as a conservative drive towards nostalgia and sentimentality.

  • The Development and Growth of British Photographic Manufacturing and Retailing 1839-1914
    The development and growth of British photographic manufacturing and retailing 1839-1914 Michael Pritchard Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Imaging and Communication Design Faculty of Art and Design De Montfort University Leicester, UK March 2010 Abstract This study presents a new perspective on British photography through an examination of the manufacturing and retailing of photographic equipment and sensitised materials between 1839 and 1914. This is contextualised around the demand for photography from studio photographers, amateurs and the snapshotter. It notes that an understanding of the photographic image cannot be achieved without this as it directly affected how, why and by whom photographs were made. Individual chapters examine how the manufacturing and retailing of photographic goods was initiated by philosophical instrument makers, opticians and chemists from 1839 to the early 1850s; the growth of specialised photographic manufacturers and retailers; and the dramatic expansion in their number in response to the demands of a mass market for photography from the late1870s. The research discusses the role of technological change within photography and the size of the market. It identifies the late 1880s to early 1900s as the key period when new methods of marketing and retailing photographic goods were introduced to target growing numbers of snapshotters. Particular attention is paid to the role of Kodak in Britain from 1885 as a manufacturer and retailer. A substantial body of newly discovered data is presented in a chronological narrative. In the absence of any substantive prior work this thesis adopts an empirical approach firmly rooted in the photographic periodicals and primary sources of the period.

  • Photography in Lancaster
    The Art o/ Photography in Lancaster By M. LATHER HEISEY HEN Robert Burns said: "0 wod some Pow'r the giftie gie W us, to see oursels as ithers see us !" he did not realize that one answer to his observation would be given to the world by the invention of photography. Until that time men saw their images "as through a glass darkly," by the medium of skillfully painted portraits by the old masters, by reflections in mirrors, placid streams or highly polished surfaces. Years before 1839, artists and chemists had been experiment- ing with methods to retain a permanent image or reflection of an object upon a canvass or other surface. In August of that year photography "came to light" when Louis J. M. Daguerre (1789- 1851) first publicly announced his process in Paris. "Daguerre, a French painter of dioramas, astonished the scientific world by pro- ducing sun pictures obtained by exposing the surface of a highly polished silver tablet to the vapor of iodine in a dark room, and then placing the tablet in a camera obscuro, and exposing it to the sunlight. A latent image of the object within the range of the camera was thus obtained, and this image was developed by expos- ing the tablet to the fumes of mercury, heated to a temperature of about 170° Fahrenheit. The image thus secured was 'fixed' or made permanent by dipping the tablet into a solution of hyposul- phite of soda, and then carefully washing and drying the plate." 1 The development of photography to the perfection of the pres- ent time was, like all inventions, a slow and steady advance.

  • Focus on Photography Works from 1950 to Today
    Focus on Photography Works from 1950 to Today A Guide to the Exhibition u u u Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College January 13–March 8, 2009 How to Use This Guide This brochure is designed to guide you around the galleries of Focus on Photography: Works from 1950 to Today. It begins with an introduction to the exhibition and then explores three themes in contemporary photography—the landscape, photojournalism, and portraiture. Within each section several subgroupings are identified. As you walk through the exhibition, you will notice that its layout does not correspond to the order of the individual photographs discussed within this brochure. This is because Focus on Photography highlights the heterogeneous nature of photography since 1950, and the installation was planned to reflect this. The galleries are organized so that visitors can explore the diversity of contemporary photography and interpret the works in a number of ways. The number located on each photograph’s label corresponds to an entry in this guide that describes the work and orients it within the exhibition’s thematic groupings. We encourage you to make your own connections among the works on display, either according to the themes we suggest or based on your own ideas regarding subject matter, process, or aesthetics. You may explore the galleries as you choose; simply use the number on a photograph’s label to lead you to the related information in this booklet. A list of events taking place related to this exhibition is included at the back of the brochure. Cover: Nikki S. Lee, The Ohio Project (8) (detail), 1999, Fujiflex print.
