Beaumont Newhall's introduction for the exhibition catalogue, Photography 1839-1937, which opened at the Museum of Modern Art in March of 1937, institutionalized the "straight" style of photography as modern art. In his essay, Newhall used ideas from a number of sources to construct a model of fine art photography positing the superiority of "straight" production techniques as the inevitable core of the history of the medium. He illustrated this text with images gathered in 1936 during a hectic curatorial search. The photographs he chose for the exhibition are a combination of favorites he solicited, referrals made by photographers he admired, and works haphazardly acquired in the months before the show opened. This amalgamation produced an exhibition and a catalogue which historicized a list of artists dominated by nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century French and American men. Although Newhall revised the 1937 essay and the book it became four times, this disparity is still present in the last edition, issued in 1982. Nor is the prominence of Newhall's original list of artists limited to his book. This group of names appears with remarkable regularity in subsequent surveys of photography. The longevity enjoyed by Newhall's History of Photography, as the book is known, is a result of its showcasing of these photographers, collected and exhibited widely, as well as its condensation of vast subject matter into a manageable, scholarly format. Millions of students consider Newhall's text the history of photography. It has, indeed, shaped the medium it sought to chronicle.Subjects--Topical Terms:
