GEORGE SEELEY Pictorialist Camera Work 1910

GEORGE H. SEELEY. The Conspiracy, 1910. 6.3x7.5" photogravure on 12x8" handmade tissue paper. From Camera Work. Printed c. 1910. Inscribed in pencil on print verso: The Conspiracy / George H. Seeley / Jan 1910 / 29:13. George H. Seeley (1880-1955) was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where he spent most of his life. In 1897, he ventured to Boston, where he studied art at the Massachusetts Normal School for about three years. From 1904 to 1912, he taught art and supervised drawing classes in the Stockbridge public schools. He also served as a correspondent for the Springfield Republican newspaper, contributing interviews and articles on art, golf, and other topics, beginning in 1905. Seeley had made snapshots as a child but became aware of the camera's creative potential after spending time with the pictorialist F. Holland Day, while in Boston. Back in Stockbridge, he worked in earnest with a large-format camera, and in 1904 burst on the scene with a dozen photographs in the First American Photographic Salon. Seeley's pictures were widely noticed in the photographic press for their almost excessive softness and refinement, showing the influence of Symbolist art. He primarily made landscapes and figure studies, printing them in platinum and gum-bichromate, sometimes quite large. Indicative of the photographer's efforts and self-confidence, he priced his prints at fifty dollars each, far more than most other Pictorialists. Seeley's artistic accomplishment prompted Alfred Stieglitz to quickly invite him into the fold, making Seeley the youngest member of the Photo-Secession. Subsequently, his work was seen at the group's Little Galleries in New York on many occasions, including a solo show in February 1908. Stieglitz also included Seeley's photographs in Secession exhibitions at Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1906, New York's National Arts Club in 1909, and Buffalo's Albright Art Gallery in 1910. Seeley also showed his work internationally in many other pictorial exhibitions, and his articles and pictures appeared in many periodicals during the same period. He wrote on topics like portraiture and flower photography for Western Camera Notes in 1900 and 1903, Camera in 1904, and the Photographic Times in 1905. Most significantly, Stieglitz featured eighteen photogravures by Seeley in his exquisite quarterly Camera Work. Appearing in issues in 1906, 1907, and 1910, this was one of the best representations by a photographer in the magazine. Seeley continued to have his work accepted in shows into the 1930s, long after most other Secessionists had forsaken pictorialism. By this time, Seeley was apparently not making photographs anymore, simply sending out his earlier accomplishments. Instead, he was painting and practicing as an amateur ornithologist, reporting bird migrations to the Biological Survey, Washington, D.C. He also continued his lifelong involvement with the Stockbridge Congregational church, where he was chairman of the ushers. Christian A.

George H. Seeley, Spring, c. 1910 Camera Work

George H. Seeley, Spring, c. 1910, Photogravure, 7.75" x 6.25", mounted 12" x 8.25". George Seeley was a student of painting and drawing in Boston when he met Fred Holland Day, who introduced him to the pictorial possibilities of photography. His debut came in 1904, when Seeley exhibited fourteen photographs in the First American Photographic Salon in New York. A reviewer enthused: "Mr. Seeley is the new man for whom we are always on the lookout, and his advent among pictorialists will be the sensation of the year." The statement proved true. Critical of the exhibition but supportive of Seeley's work, Alfred Stieglitz invited Seeley to join the Photo-Secession, with which he remained for six years, exhibiting and publishing his photographs. After the break with Stieglitz's group, declining interest in the Pictorialist aesthetic and the increasing unavailability of platinum paper after World War I contributed to the demise of Seeley's photographic career. He continued to exhibit his work into the 1930s, although he had practically ceased to make new work. An amateur ornithologist who was active in his church, Seeley took up oil painting in his later years and was a correspondent for the local Stockbridge, Massachusetts, newspaper. (Getty Museum).
