TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 6, 1908. PKoto-Secession Protest Against Conventional in Pictorial Camera Work ATTITUDE OP CRITICS CHANGES FROM DERISION TO EXPECTANT INTEREST, AND ART IS TRIUMPHANT THROUGH the kindness of the owner, William B. Dyer, now of Hood River, the Portland Art Asso ciation is showing at its museum some excellent examples of work by members of the "Photo Secession." Mr. Dyer was one of the original members and has always been promi nent In the movement. He did much t develop Interest in the cause in Chicago. The exhibition will continue until Satur day. September 12. Following Is Mr. Dyer's statement of the work and aim of th,e Photo-Secession: "The Photo-Secession Is an organlxation founded a few years since by Alfred Stlegllt. Mrs. Gertrude Kasebler. Ed ward Steichen. Joseph Keiley. Dallett Fuguet. J. F. Strauss, of New York: Clarence White, of Ohio; J. G. Bullock, of Pennsylvania; Mrs. Eva Watson Scbutxe and William B. Dyer, of Illinois. It stands as an exponent. In a broad way, of an International movement, and, in their work, the members protest against the conventional conception of what con stitutes pictorial photography. "The movement for the recognition of photography as a means for original pic torial expression has not been lacking of ridicule and misrepresentation. The earliest efforts In this line, before the founding of the- Photo-Secession, resulted In a few exhibitions In New York. Phila delphia and Boston, which really resulted In the negative of the result expected, and tie creating of unsound standards. Much of chaos and discontent was re sultant, out of which grew the Photo Secession, a body of worBers who be ttevwd In and had been connected with the Bhotographlo pictorial movement, who had well-defined Ideas on the sub ject, and who were desirous of having unity of purpose and harmony of action as governing laws. "By adopting, as one of Its principal objects, the exploitation of all repre sentative work, whether that of friend or foe. it established a policy of putting be fore the picture-loving public compact shows of the very best examples of pho tography as a picture-making medium, srfl In such shano and manner as to ex cite attention and respect. founded In February, 1902. "The first exhibition was at the Na tional Arts Club. New York City, on the Invitation of that organization. On the strength of this exhibition collections of selected American prints were sent abroad, where they won universal atten tlon and at Turin and elsewhere the American work was awarded a premier position among the national work shown. "When successes here apd abroad crowned the earliest efforts of the Photo Secession the attitude of its critics changed from derision to that of expec tant Interest. Finally the Little Galler lea. In New York City, was opened by the organization, and has become a place of distinction In art circles. During the first season 15,000 people visited the various collections of American and Eu ropean work shown there. "The Photo-Secession does not claim to even begin to represent and encompass within itself all that Is best and finest In American pictorial photography. It simply stands for an Idea that idea Is a taitn in tne future ot photography as a medium for original art expression, faith in the principle that the soundness of an Idea will be tested by time and that the logical, consistent support of a sound Idea Is bound tn win out in the nd.
