White (1871-1925) was one of the most influential art photographers and teachers of the early 20th century and a founding member of the Photo-Secession. This beautiful publication offers a new appraisal of White's contributions, including his groundbreaking aesthetic experiments, his commitment to the ideals of American socialism, and his embrace of the expanding fields of photographic book and fashion illustration, celebrity portraiture, and advertising. Based on extensive archival research, the book challenges the idea of an abrupt rupture between prewar, soft-focus idealizing photography and postwar \"modernism\" to paint a more nuanced picture of American culture in the Progressive era. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eClarence H. White and His World\u003c\/i\u003e begins with the artist's early work in Ohio, which shares with the nascent Arts and Crafts movement the advocacy of hand production, closeness to nature, and the simple life. White's involvement with the Photo-Secession and his move to New York in 1906 mark a shift in his production, as it grew to encompass commercial portraiture and an increasing commitment to teaching, which ultimately led him to establish the first institutions in America to combine instruction in both technical and aesthetic aspects of photography.The book also incorporates new formal and scientific analysis of White's work and techniques, a complete exhibition record, and many unpublished illustrations of the moody outdoor scenes and quiet images of domestic life for which he was revered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Princeton University Art Museum \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrinceton University Art Museum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/07\/17-01\/07\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavis Museum, Wellesley College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/07\/18-06\/03\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePortland Museum of Art, Maine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/30\/18-09\/16\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCleveland Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/21\/18-01\/21\/19)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne McCauley\u003c\/b\u003e is David Hunter McAlpin Professor of the History of Photography and Modern Art at Princeton University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 408\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 x 11.7 x 10.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754152952096,"sku":"9780300229080","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3befaed54c0d2108221a98be89a2b24c.webp?v=1780034537","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/clarence-h-white-and-his-world-the-art-and-craft-of-photography-1895-1925-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
