Camera Work: A Photographic Quarterly (1908 (Heft 22))

THE PHOTO-SECESSION GALLERIES.
FOLLOWING the exhibition of Rodin drawings there was shown
a collection of photographs by Mr. George H. Seeley, Stock-
bridge, Mass.* * This was followed by an exhibition of etchings and
book-plates by Herr Willi Geiger, of Munich; etchings by Mr.
D. S. MacLaughlan, of Boston and Paris; and water-colors by Miss
Pamela Colman Smith, of New York and London. As we go to press a
one-man show of photographs in monochrome and color by Eduard J.
Steichen (who returned from Paris for a few weeks for this purpose) is
attracting considerable attention.
The closing exhibition of the year will be devoted to the drawings,
lithographs, water-colors, and etchings of M. Henri Matisse, the leading
spirit of a modern group of French artists dubbed “Les Fauves." The
work of this group has been the center of discussion in the art world of
Paris during the past two to three years. It is the good fortune of the
Photo-Secession to have the honor of thus introducing Matisse to the
American public and to the art-critics.
THE CAMERA WORKERS.
IN this number there appears a resumé of the expulsion of Mr.
Stieglitz from The Camera Club. In consequence of, and as a
protest against this action, some forty odd photographers, most of
whom were members of the Camera Club, have organized an asso-
ciation under the name of The Camera Workers. Quarters have been
secured (122 East 25th street, New York), facilities installed, and the interest
and enthusiasm displayed prophesy an active and successful future for it.
The membership therein is limited to one hundred, and the requirements of
eligibility are such as to insure harmony and fellowship. In this way it is
hoped to establish an active working association which in its sphere shall be
comparable and complementary to the Photo-Secession. The founders are:
Messrs. J. W. Allison, W. P. Agnew, John Aspinwall, John Beeby, Col. H.
B. Borup, A. K. Boursault, W. E. Carlin, F. B. Cleland, F. C. De Veau,
Julian A. Dimock, A. R. Dugmore, Aymar Embury II, Dr. G. Eckstein,
A. G. Eldridge, Herbert G. French, Otto Goerz, Paul B. Haviland, L. J. R.
Holst, John Hadden, Walter T. Jones, Joseph T. Keiley, J. B. Kerfoot,
Marshall R. Kernochan, Dr. F. S. Kneer, Dr. H. W. Lance, H. T.
Leonard, W. A. Morschauser, Wm. J. Mullins, Arthur Mooney, George
D. Pratt, H. H. Pease, H. B. Reid, H. T. Rowley, Arthur Robinson,
Eduard J. Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Louis B. Schram, John Francis
Strauss, M. W. Seaman, Gerhard E. Schmidt, T. O’Conor Sloane, Jr.,
W. E. Wilmerding, S. S. Webber, Clarence H. White, T. C. Watkins.
The next number of CAMERA WORK, Nurnber XXIII, will be devoted
to the work of Clarence H. White. It will contain sixteen full-page photo-
gravures.

will appear in the next.—Editor.
