《Camerawork》 - Kamerawork

...No matter how pictorial a photograph may be, this was not to be viewed in relation to painting, but rather to be viewed within the unique style and expression of photography, which had been started by L. Daguerre, W. Talbot, DO Hill and others. In 1903, the journal Camerawork was published, and in 1905, a gallery called 291 was established. This Photo-Secession movement did not simply seek to discover new possibilities unique to photography, but also addressed a wide range of issues facing modern art, and in that sense, its theory and practice made some contribution to the establishment of modern American art. ...

He published the journal Camera Work, which featured photogravure photographs and developed his own theory on art. He also ran a small gallery (called the 291 Gallery because it was located at 291 Fifth Avenue in New York), which became a base for modern art in America.

…ゴム印画法やオイル印画法などによる手を加えたピクトリアリズムの写真もストレートな写真も,その技法ゆえに芸術性をうんぬんすることではなく,そこになんらかの芸術的な感動を呼び起こすものがあるかどうかということだけが重要であると考えた。機関誌《カメラ・ワークCamera Work》を発行し,フォト・グラビアによる写真を掲載,独自の芸術論を展開した。また小ギャラリー(ニューヨークの五番街291番地にあったため〈291ギャラリー〉と呼ばれた)を運営し,アメリカにおけるモダン・アートの拠点ともなった。…
