OUR PICTURES.
THE portraits of Rodin, Lenbach, and the Self-portrait in this
number have been reproduced in photogravure from negatives
made by Mr. Chester Abbott Lawrence from Eduard J.
Steichen’s original gum-prints, the first two of which are from
the private collection of Mr. Alfred Stieglitz. Carefully as
these reproductions have been made, they can give but little conception of
the exquisite quality, subtlety, and charm which is peculiar to all Mr. Steichen’s
work in this medium. Aside from the art displayed in these masterpieces of
portraiture, they possess added value by reason of the uncommon person-
alities which they portray. We can add nothing further in explanation.
BARTHOLOME, The Pool, Dawn-flowers, and Dolor are photogravures
made directly from the original unmanipulated and untouched negatives.
The remainder of our illustrations are half-tone reproductions from the
original prints—Besnard; Portrait; Nude with Cat, in gum; Judgment of
Paris in straight platinum. These details are given because it must be a
matter of interest to our readers to know that much of Mr. Steichen’s work
is the straightest kind of straight photography, but applied with a liberal
admixture of brain, feeling and a wonderful mastery of technique. Nothing
further can be said in explanation of these pictures, as each will, no doubt,
impress the individual temperament of the beholder variously. Mr. Steichen’s
art speaks most eloquently in its own behalf, and thereby in behalf of the
cause of pictorial photography.
JUSTICE demands a word ot recognition to the Photochrome Engraving
Company for the beautiful reproductions of these subjects so difficult to
render adequately.
Editors.
ENCOURAGEMENT.
appreciative press notices which Camera Work evoked, have more than repaid
the editors for their efforts. Such hearty and spontaneous responses have
fully justified our faith in the general desire for a magazine of the character
that we have produced, and we offer our heart-felt thanks for the moral and
material support accorded to us.
CIRCUMSTANCES have compelled us to omit from this number the
second of Mr. Otto W. Beck's series of articles on Lessons from the Old
Masters. It will appear in the next number.
