The Photo-Secession.
So many are the enquiries as to the nature and aims of the Photo-
Secession and requirements of eligibility to membership therein, that we
deem it expedient to give a brief résumé of the character of this body of
photographers.
The object of the Photo-Secession is: to advance photography as
applied to pictorial expression; to draw together those Americans
practicing or otherwise interested in the art, and to hold from time to time,
at varying places, exhibitions not necessarily limited to the productions of
the Photo-Secession or to American work.
It consists of a Council (all of whom are Fellows); Fellows chosen by
the Council for meritorious photographic work or labors in behalf of
pictorial photography, and Associates eligible by reason of interest in, and
sympathy with, the aims of the Secession.
In order to give Fellowship the value of an honor, the photographic
work of a possible candidate must be individual and distinctive, and it goes
without saying that the applicant must be in thorough sympathy with our
aims and principles.
To Associateship are attached no requirements except sincere sympathy
with the aims and motives of the Secession. Yet, it must not be supposed
that these qualifications will be assumed as a matter of course, as it has been
found necessary to deny the application of many whose lukewarm interest
in the cause with which we are so thoroughly identified gave no promise of
aiding the Secession. It may be of general interest to know that quite a
few, perhaps entitled by their photographic work to Fellowship, have applied
in vain. Their rejection being based solely upon their avowed or notoriously
active opposition or equally harmful apathy. Many whose sincerity could
not be questioned were refused Fellowship because the work submitted was
not equal to the required standard. Those desiring further information
must address the Director of the Photo-Secession, Mr. Alfred Stieglitz,
1111 Madison Avenue, New York.
