Abstract

Art and Camera
Craven, Thomas | April 16, 1924 issue

The photograph has two qualities capable of stimulating the aesthetic faculties. The first of these is concerned with the rendering of textural distinctions, the second lies in the simple reproduction of the physically beautiful, that is, of the beauty which nature has so lavishly provided. To bring out accurately in black and white the harsh and the delicate tones and the fine shades of colored surfaces demands a small measure of creative thought-the end must be visualized and the chemistry of printing regulated accordingly.
