Camera Work: A Photographic Quarterly (1907 (Heft 20))

IMPORTANT RECOGNITION
OF PICTORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY has officially recognized the claims
of Pictorial Photography. Mr. Clarence H. White now of New
York, one of the active and leading spirits of the Photo-Secession,
has been appointed to deliver a series of lectures on Pictorial
Photography at the University this winter. This is the first important
educational institution of its type to recognize what we have battled for so
untiringly. The recognition is an encouraging omen and will be gratifying
to the many so deeply interested in the Photo-Secession and its aims.
Virtually at the same time Mr. Frank Eugene, another member of the
Secession, residing temporarily in Munich, was appointed by the Lehr-und
Versuchs-Anstalt für Photographie und Reproduktionstechnik, a State Institution ,
to lecture on Pictorial Photography. Eugene had created a positive furore
in the Munich art circles with an exhibition of photographs held at the
Kunstverein in May. This was the cause of his appointment.

EXHIBITIONS AT THE LITTLE GALLERIES.
IN the beginning of November the Photo-Secession will begin its
third season of exhibitions at the Little Galleries, 291 Fifth
Avenue, New York. The usual Member's Show will inaugurate
the series. During this exhibition the public will have an
opportunity of seeing the color experiments and pictures made on the
Autochrome Plate elsewhere referred to in these pages.
Some of the exhibitions planned for the succeeding month are:
Drawings by Rodin; Etchings by Willi Geiger, of Munich; Photographs,
by Frank Eugene; by Eduard J. Steichen, in color and monochrome; by
Joseph T. Keiley; by F. Holland Day; a series of platinotype studies
made by Clarence H. White and Alfred Stieglitz in collaboration; a collec-
tion of French oil and gum prints; new drawings by Pamela Colman Smith;
gum prints by Prof. Hans Watzek, Dr. Hugo Henneberg, and Heinrich
Kühn.
