THS EXACT INSTANT, EVENTS AND PAGES IN 100 YEARS OF NEWS PHOTOGRAPHY

- I^LIFINARY BACKGROUND RELEASE -

A large exhibition of American news photography assembled from all

over the country by Edward Steichen, Director of the Museum's Deoart-

ment of Photography, is now being installed at the Museum of Modern

Art, 11 West 53 Street. The exhibition, occupying the entire first

floor of the Museum, will open to the public on February 9 and will

remain on view until I* ay 1. It will include approximately 300 news

and documentary photographs from the past 100 years, selected by !!r«

Steichen from an estimated 10,000 prints which he has viewed.

The idea of such an exhibition has been in T*r. Steichen1 s mind

since 193^ when he first started collecting newspaper clippings for

such a possibility. To assemble material, he has researched the files

of the National Archives, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian

Institution, as well as the press associations, newspapers and picture

magazines; he has canvassed press Photographers countrywide through

the National Press Photographers Association.

The exhibition galleries will open with a vast mural of the

atomic bomb which will cover an entire wall 1I4. feet high by 30 feet

long. From this the pictures range both in size and in time to the

small original daguerreotypes, from the Smithsonian Institution; these

show sailing vessels from all over the world abandoned in l8li9 in the

San Francisco harbor during the rush for California gold.

Fr. Steichen, commenting on the exhibition, says:

"in addition to spot news pictures, the exhibition will include feature pictures of the kind that document daily living. The emphasis in the selection of the show has been more on the penetrating quality of the reporting rather than on the importance of the news event. In addition, this panorama of pictures aims to demonstrate the influence of the changing photographic techniques on the final result: the early wet plate, the dry plate, the introduction of roll and cut film, flash powder, high speed panchromatic emulsions, flash bulbs and finally the electronic speed light.

"Both in the selection of the pictures and In the presentation and hanging of them, the exhibition seeks to demonstrate the i^oortarce of meaningful as well as newsworthy images in recording the life of tj&e nation.

"Today the news picture generally appears as a supplement to the written word. As the quality of reportorial photography develops and its use continues to accelerate, the written word may well become the supplement to the visual image."
