      February 29, 1936: The Forty-sixth Annual Exhibition of Photography by members of the Department of Photography of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts & Sciences will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum from March 2nd to 22nd.

      This group, now approaching its Golden Anniversary, has always been known for its conservatism in photography and the pictures it produces reflect the changing influences of current taste very slowly, Whereas for the last several seasons landscapes and marines dominated this exhibition, this year portraits and figure studies are in the majority. At the same time the product of the “candid camera” makes its first appearance and the still life subjects show the very definite “modern” influence in choice and handling of subject.

      One of the most advanced workers in the group who has long been known for his perfect natural-color renderings in tri-color carbro goes practically off the deep and into the abstract by showing a photograph of a row of sugar cubes mace deliberately with the wrong filters and color-separations. The result is a design in pure color which deserves great credit for its originality.

      There are 97 prints by 29 exhibitors and in the main the prints are all by straight photography, a few being manipulates. There are no process prints except two examples of carbro which does not lend itself to manipulation,

      The prints for the exhibition were selected by a jury composed of Edward Alenius, A,R.P.S., Presicent of the Telephone Camera Club of Manhattan, Nicholas Haz, F.R.PS., well-know critic and artist-photographer, and Thos. 0, Sheckall, Print Director of the Orange Camera Club, of East Orange.

      Among those exhibiting are Louis V. H. Albers, William E. Beckel, Mary P. Callaghan, Charles W. Case, Charles H. Coles, H. Richardson Cremer, Herman de Wetter, William Eisenberg, Helen T. Farrell, F. T. Forster, A. W. Purbank, William E. Harkness, Antoinette B. Harvey, Henry Hottinger, Mabel Hyde, Dora Jansen, John Kelly, Walter L. Kiernan, Irving M. King, Joseph Kraysler, J. Ghislain Lootens, Harry A. Neuman, Walter P. Owen, Hulda M. Peterson, A. Merrell Powers, Mily Richter, Harold G. Swahn, Henry L. Viens, and Samuel P. Ward.

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"

      Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences

      The Brooklyn Apprentices' Library Association, founded in 1823, reorganized in 1843 into the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. The Institute was the umbrella organization for four major Brooklyn institutions: Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Children's Museum, and Brooklyn Academy of Music. Several departments of the Institute, especially the Department of Photography, organized exhibitions.
