Exhibition Details
“Nine eminent experts in art have selected 152 pictures from 1042 examples prejudged by photographics organizations and authorities in the field” (Photography in the Fine Arts). The show debuted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The search for works took place 18 months before the selection and allowed “all points of view, asking only that the product of a man’s work contain that certain spark which kindles in a sensitive observer a response to its message.” During the judging there was a simple collection of votes that lacked any “expression of opinions.”
