EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Salon jury, Philadelphia, 1899," captures a significant moment in American art history. Taken by renowned photographer Eva Watson-Schutze, the image showcases the esteemed jury members of the Philadelphia Salon, a groundbreaking exhibition that showcased contemporary American art. The group portrait is composed of five prominent figures in the art world, all in profile, facing left. From left to right, we see Clarence H. White, Gertrude Käsebier, Henry Troth, F. Holland Day, and Frances Benjamin Johnston. Each figure exudes a sense of authority and intelligence, their faces illuminated by the backlight, creating an aura of importance. Clarence H. White, an influential African American photographer, was a pioneer in the field of fine art photography. Gertrude Käsebier, a prominent member of the Pictorialist movement, was known for her innovative use of soft focus and manipulation of light. Henry Troth was a prolific painter and illustrator, while F. Holland Day was a publisher and photographer, known for his avant-garde approach to art. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a renowned architectural photographer and preservationist. The Salon jury was responsible for selecting the works to be displayed in the exhibition, making their judgments based on artistic merit and innovation. The image captures the group in the midst of this important task, their serious expressions and focused gazes conveying the gravity of their role. This historic photograph, taken in the late 19th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America and the significant contributions of these pioneering figures in the world of art.
