Reconsidering sepia: Clarence White’s photography at the Davis Editorial Staff
Clarence H. White, one of the pioneers of the pictorialist style in photography, is having his first retrospective in more than a generation, a traveling show now on view at the Davis Museum at Wellesley College. Drawing heavily on holdings at the Princeton University Art Museum and at the Library of Congress,
Clarence H. White and His World, which originated at Princeton, surveys the period from 1895 to White’s death in 1925. His career spanned one of the most interesting periods in American photographic history, a crucible that encompasses Alfred Stieglitz’s Photo-Secession, the fledgling commercial era, and the rise of documentary “straight photography” in the twenties.
