THIS BOOK is addressed to photographers,
and with the exception of a few Old
Masters and modern pictures, it is wholly
illustrated with photo-portraits, showing
how surprisingly pliable is the modern
tool — photography, for representation with beauty and
the expression of ideas.
Practically the book is an art school for the photog-
rapher, for whom no art institution has provided. In
sixteen chapters of condensed matter, the fundamental
principles underlying all pictorial art are presented in
such a manner that they are made especially applicable in
photography. Elucidation of each principle is assured
by placing by the side of a “good straight photograph”
the same photograph pictorially treated, and the evolu-
tion of the art-problems presented is explained by nu-
merous pen- and wash-drawings accompanying the text.
The photographer must accept an art education. It
is his safeguard. An art education means that he will
lead his community, demonstrating by his photographs
the value of creative work.
The book is not merely theoretical—it is eminently
practical ; it shows “ how things are done. ” It clearly
presents the matter of which art is composed, and shows
how it differs from a still-life representation of nature.
Dealing entirely with the human figure, it explains in
what way character is expressed and “ soul ” is infused.
It is not a book of recipes ; it requires study, and is
so ordered that he who is confused upon the subject of
art will find its true nature revealed and a clear path for
progress hewn.
Lastly, the photographs show the daring innovations
that spring from creative impulses, and will incite to
experiments widening the scope of portrait-work.
