A personal view. Photography in the collection of Paul F. Walter. - New York Graphic Soc. Books, 1985. ISBN: 0870706284
Umschl. berieben u. Titel pastell ausgeblichen. - 136 pages; 70 plates and 19 reference illustrations. - As a collector Paul F. Walter has wide and varied interests. His early acquisitions in photography were often pictures made in Asia, in part because they enrich the intellectual and cultural context of his collections of objects of traditional Eastern art. His interest in Whistler etchings and lithographs in turn led to acquisitions from photography's pictorialist period. Szarkowski notes that Walter's sensitivity to broad cultural concerns helped him develop the photographic connoisseurship "that has made his collection so rich not only in recognized masterworks but in pictures of extraordinary quality and interest that had previously been overlooked." The seventy photographs reproduced include early works by British masters Hill and Adamson and Roger Fenton; views of the Middle East by Felix Teynard and Auguste Salz-mann; official images of Second Empire France by Gustave Le Gray, Charles Negre, and Edouard-Denis Baldus; portraits by Nadar, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Edgar Degas; and mammoth-plate landscapes of the American West by Eadweard Muybridge and Carleton E. Watkins. A series of views of nineteenth-century India includes early architectural studies by Linnaeus Tripe and landscapes by Samuel Bourne. Twentieth-century pictures include outstanding works by Paul Strand, Eugene Atget, Man Ray, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Cecil Beaton, August Sander, and Brassai. Among many unexpected discoveries are pictorialist works by Leonard Misonne and Sherril Schell and anonymous, vernacular photographs, such as a police document of the Paris flood of 1910 and anaerial view of the Croydon Aerodrome (London's first airport) made in the early 1920s. John Pultz, Beaumont and Nancy Newhall Curatorial Fellow in the Department of Photography from 1981 to 1984, provides in his introduction to the book a historical survey of collectors of photography, contrasting nineteenth-century collectors who viewed the camera as a "faithful and expressive witness" with turn-of-the-century pictorialists who admired photographs that drew attention to themselves as objects of beauty and value. The nineteenth-century dilettante Chauncy Hare Townshend, collector of Old Master prints, rare books, and gems, regarded photographs as surrogates for the places and things they represented, whereas the photographer and publisher Alfred Stieglitz at the turn of the century viewed collecting as part of a program to promote photography as a fine art. Pultz identifies two other characteristic attitudes of collectors: the Frenchman Gabriel Cromer, for example, looked upon photography as part of the broad fabric of culture and amassed not only pictures "but also documents and artifacts pertinent to the invention and development of photography" Pultz finally describes what he calls the "modernist attitude" and points to David H. McAlpin as an exemplar: beginning in the 1930s he focused his collecting on a small group of advanced photographers, including Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. "For McAlpin, to purchase photographs was to support financially and morally those photographers he believed in." The book concludes with notes on each of the seventy plates, prepared by the curatorial staff of the Department of Photography. This catalogue is rich in new documentation and interpretation, and explores photography's interaction with commerce, politics, literature, and the other arts.
