For the third time. ■ carcfutl?
screened selection of photograph i
has been labeled "•Fine Art" by
■ distinguished jury of critics and
makes its bow to the public from
the eminence of museum walls.
And once again it will be tha
target of appreciation and criti-
cism*. cf bouquets and brickbs;
for-this is Round Three of an old
Controversy. *
The occasion is the current
opening of "Photography in the-
,r ne Arts Exhibit III" at the
Minneapolis Institute Of ArLs.
There are 146 outstanding com~
t mpory photographs in the ex-
h.t>ition. the work of 122 photon-
taohers of whom 19 are amateur*.
It is amaring what a fuss his
b > n raised in photographic ar-
etes since the premiere of Ex- -
hibit I at New York's Metropolitan
Museum' Of Art two year ago. One
would think that recognition by
one of the world's mosF respected
•art museums would be unanimous-,
lv applauded by photograpny s ¡
who's who. I
Strengely, along with the plau ¡
d.ts, there arose a chorus of dis
satisfaction led by some potent
photo personalities. The protect
was praised an.d: also damned in
newspaper and magazine articles
and editorials, by round-robin let-
ters and Pt photographic meetings.
The criticism can be summa
rized in thesf main points:
1. That final choice as to what
constitutes "Fine Art" in photo-
graohy Should be decided only by
photographers, not by a jury ofj
•rt critics, museum directors or I
any other outsiders.
2. The manner of obtaining
nominees for final judging is un
satisfactory. 1'
3. The present director of the
PFA project. Ivan Dmitri, is;
¿rindió? a personal axe. ¡
In rebuttal, the objections aré
countered with these arguments:
, I. Photographers . themselves
ere the primary judges because
rll of the entries must eome from
qualified photographic authorities.]
After careful screening and prior
approval bv photographic experts.
