Camera Work: A Photographic Quarterly (1903 (Heft 3))

EXHIBITIONS.

PHOTO-SECCESSION NOTES.
The Photo-Secession collections which have been sent to the exhi-
bitions, as enumerated in Camera Work No. 2, have not been without
beneficial results in behalf of what we stand for in photography, as attested
by the numerous appreciative letters received from such widely separated
parts of the world as Denver and St. Petersburg. It must not be supposed
that silence about the activities of the Photo-Secession betokens slumber,
but rather that we feel that the general public is not interested in the details
of our successes. Nevertheless, the Secession is quietly doing good work, is
making converts, and now counts among its adherents many who formerly
went to scoff and now remain to pray.
In response to the invitation of the Photo-Club de Paris and L'Effort of
Brussels,a Photo-Secession collection has been contributed to these exhibitions.
The collection sent to these places was of more than average merit. It
seems not generally understood that the Photo-Secession accepts only such
invitations as leaves it a free hand in the selection of its exhibit, and that it
insists that its collection be hung together as an entirety, so that the public
may not only judge the individual Secessionist but also the Secessionists as a
group.
In response to an invitation from Toronto (Canada), a Loan collection
of the Secessionists was sent to the exhibition held there in April, and latest
reports inform us that it was its great feature.
THE HAMBURG JUBILEE EXHIBITION.
The Hamburg Society for the Advancement of Photography, of which
Mr. Ernst Juhl is president, is preparing for an International Jubilee
Exhibition to be opened in September. As it is intended to make this
exhibition one of exceptional merit, the admission is by invitation only.
Mr. Juhl has commissioned the following Advisory Committee: Alfred
Stieglitz, for America; J. Craig Annan, A. Horsley Hinton and John
C. Warburg, for Great Britain; Robert Demachy and Maurice Bucquet, for
France.
The American pictures must be in the hands of the American Com-
missioner on or before August first.
THE LONDON SALON.
Let this paragraph serve as a reminder that the eleventh annual
London Salon opens as usually in the third week of September, at the
Dudley Galleries. American exhibits ought to leave the United States
by express no later than August fifth, as they go before the Jury early in
September.
