Warren Coville describes his experience collecting works by photographers associated with this influential, but historically under-appreciated school. Joining him is Kathy Erwin, Curator of the Coville Collection. She discusses her research toward locating and documenting the students of the Clarence H. White School of Photography.
Founded in 1914, the Clarence H. White School of Photography
was the first in America to teach photography as a creative art form. Influenced
by Impressionist paintings and the art of Whistler, White introduced the principles
of fine art into photojournalism. Students of the school included such well-known
photographers as Dorothea Lange, Laura Gilpin, Karl Struss, Ralph Steiner, Margaret
Watkins, and Margaret Bourke-White.
