DE MEYER PHOTOGRAPHS.
The Burgess exhibition was followed by photographs, the recent work of
Baron de Meyer. Many of the prints had been exhibited at the International
Photographic Exhibition held in the Albright Galleries, Buffalo, in 1910, where
they had received much praise.
In contrast with his attitude as exemplified in the prints at the Second
De Meyer Exhibition, February, 1909, and reviewed in Camera Work, Num-
ber XXVII, Baron de Meyer has shifted from a research of gray pearly tones
and modeling obtained from almost imperceptible differences in value to a
study of strong contrasts, deep blacks and pure whites. Many of his photo-
graphs are taken by artificial light, and his studies of lights and shadows are
unique and fascinating. His artistic affiliations are distinctly with the Amer-
ican school of photography, from which he has absorbed much of what appealed
to his temperament without in any way losing his personal point of view or
clear expression. Infinite care in his work and a very keen and sensitive
perception of beautiful lines and masses and refined light effects are the key-
note to De Meyer’s work.
ARTHUR B. CARLES EXHIBITION
At the present writing, the Little Galleries are devoted to an exhibition
of paintings by Arthur B. Carles, the result of his work of the last twelve
months. Experimental as these canvases are, they reveal a born colorist
and communicate the sense of joy which the artist must have felt in contriving
his combinations of tones, a youthful, boisterous joy, possibly, but wholesome
and full of strength and vitality.
