I have noticed his name in some of the later catalogues (1947 Photograms etc). I will keep an eye open in other catalogues. Do you want the print titles from Photograms?
His life more or less corresponds to the…"

I am seeking information on the International Circle of Pictorial Photographers exhibition of 1926. This was held in Liverpool and a catalogue was published - if anyone has, or is aware of, a copy of this catalogue i would be very grateful. The ICPP was started in 1925 in Liverpool by, amongst others, Chambre Hardman and ran for three years as an alternative to the 'Northern' salon. I have tried the usual sources for a copy of the catalogue, but to no avail...See More

Both give a good insight into Thomas' teaching and outlook. I have copies of these if…"

Matthew Mawson replied to Damian Hughes's discussion The Combined Societies"Hello Kelvin, just getting some facts clear. Hugo van Wadenoyen was the prime mover in the CS. Hoppe was employed as a judge, Douglas Glass never had any involvement with the CS. Cash, White, Vining, Straker et al were exhibitors who sent work in…"
Matthew Mawson replied to Damian Hughes's discussion The Combined Societies"Damian -
You have hit the nail on the head with:
"But nor was Wadenoyen a straightforward “documentarian”. He explicitly regarded his pictures as insufficiently objective to be counted as documentary, “too coloured by…"
Matthew Mawson replied to Damian Hughes's discussion The Combined Societies"Hello Kelvin.
I think the main arguement was about what was artistic photography. Hugo van Wadenyen believed in the integrity of photographic vision, which meant remaining true to the camera's capacity to record in its most formal sense. This…"
Matthew Mawson replied to Caroline Fuchs's discussion "biograph picture" | A photographer named "Salomon""Hello Caroline
The only other reference to Salomon i can find in my records is Anthony Adam-Saloman (1818-1881). He was a french portrait photographer (Paris) in the late 19th century. I know nothing more about him except that he took portraits of…"
Matthew Mawson replied to Peter Stevens's discussion Information about Arts Council photographic exhibtions between 1946 to 1969"Paul Nash 1948 Memorial photography exhibition was Arts Council - I can't remember where it was held but it was a major exhibition."
Matthew Mawson replied to Damian Hughes's discussion British photographic exhibitions 1940-1970"Hi Damian - before taking the Dr Jouhar/Wadenoyen debate further it may be beneficial to ascertain what exactly were their opposing views. Both men seemed to trying to push forward the acceptance of photography as an art form and to escape from the…"
Matthew Mawson replied to Damian Hughes's discussion British photographic exhibitions 1940-1970"Kelvin, I think there must have been a clash of personalities between your grandfather and Hugo. Very interesting to hear of the Twickenham article. I have two articles from the Photographic Journal, firstly from 1945 a transcript of a discussion…"
Matthew Mawson replied to Caroline Fuchs's discussion "biograph picture" | A photographer named "Salomon"""Saloman" would be Dr Erich Saloman - a german photographer from early 20th Century. Based in Berlin and an early photojournalist, who pioneered candid techniques of reportage - what could be refered to as straight photography.

Matthew Mawson replied to Damian Hughes's discussion The Combined Societies"Hello, I have been researching Hugo van Wadenoyen for the past several years. He was the brains behind the CS and i have recently been investigating this association. I have masses of information on the CS and on Post War British and European…"
