Clarence H. White and His World: The Art and Craft of Photography, 1895-1925 (Princeton University Art Museum Monograph Series)

Description

Review "In the book. . . . It is the faux medieval costumes; the vague, dewy (Ms. McCauley's word) images; the faces buried in shadow; and the saccharine melodrama that earned Pictorialism its dismissal. But by showing White's work in its contemporaneous artistic, social and political contexts, Ms. McCauley makes it possible for it to be reassessed."--William Meyers, Wall Street Journal About the Author Anne McCauley is David Hunter McAlpin Professor of the History of Photography and Modern Art at Princeton University.
