Doris Dwyer portrays Margaret Bourke-White during Chautauqua 2005 on the Montgomery College Germantown campus.The name of Margaret Bourke-White evokes images of a woman in perpetual motion, an intrepid pioneer shaping the world of photojournalism. Bourke White was the first photographer hired by Henry Luce for Fortune, his first venture into journalism where text and photography complemented each other and conveyed information in a fundamentally new way. Later Luce hired Bourke-White as one of the original, and only female, photographers for Life. She was the first American woman to excel in industrial photography, and the first woman to photograph a bombing raid from the air. As a photographer who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, her exploits fascinated readers around the world, and she became a role model for young girls everywhere. Her face was as famous as her best known photographs — the images that she hoped educated her audiences about the times in which they lived. Bourke-White's photojournalistic work captured the multi-faceted nature of modern life.Read more about Margaret Bourke-White at http://www.mdhc.org/resources/chautauqua2005.pdfChautauqua (shuh-taw-kwa) takes its name from a lake in upstate New York, beginning in 1874 as a training course for Sunday School teachers. In 1878 the Chautauqua movement expanded its philosophy of adult education to include an appreciation for the arts and humanities. By 1904, Chautauqua took to the road as part of the Lyceum movement, bringing lectures and entertainers to towns across America. By 1930, radio, movies, and automobiles had made Chautau¬qua largely a thing of the past. Reborn as a public humanities program in 1976, today's Chautauquas feature scholars who take on the persona of celebrated historical figures, educating and entertaining audiences as they bring the past to life again. Families gather for our Chautauqua under starry skies in a big open tent.

Clarence Hudson White (1871 --1925) was an American photographer and a founding member of the Photo-Secession movement. During his lifetime he was widely recognized as a master of the art form for his consummate sentimental, pictorial portraits and for his excellence as a teacher of photography. Toward the end of his career he founded the Clarence H. White School of Photography, which produced many of the best-known photographers of the Twentieth Century including Margaret Bourke-White, Dorothea Lange, and Paul Outerbridge.White was born in West Carlisle, Ohio. He moved with his family to Newark, Ohio when he was sixteen. He was avid amateur young artist, and filled sketchbooks with his drawings and paintings before taking up photography in his late teens or early twenties. In 1893 White married Jane Felix, who became White's business manager, critic, and inspiration.In 1906 he decided to move to New York City, and devote his full attention to photography. Stieglitz included White's photos in exhibitions at his Photo-Secession gallery and published them in his highly acclaimed magazine, Camera Work. Stieglitz devoted an entire issue of Camera Work to White's photography and the two men were jointly credited on several images, most notably The Torso.http://www.luminous-lint.com/imagevault/html_15001_15500/15494_thm.jpgHe quickly became a renowned instructor, encouraging and inspiring his students rather than formally expounding on technical or aesthetic principles of photography. Although White's teaching never provided him with a significant amount of money, it enabled him to work as a full-time photographer and he deeply loved to teach. In 1914, he founded the Clarence H. White School of Modern Photography. White taught many students who went on to become notable photographers, including Margaret Bourke-White, Anne Brigman, Dorothea Lange, Paul Outerbridge, Karl Struss, and Doris Ulmann.White, Stieglitz, and the other Photo-Secessionists initially imitated traditional fine arts in order to elevate photography to high art. Referred to as pictorialists, they used camera and printing techniques to emulate etchings and achieve soft focus. However, in 1910 Stieglitz renounced pictorialism in favor of sharply focused "straight" photographs, emphasizing the camera's optical clarity and precision.White did not follow Stieglitz's initiative, and after their separation White emerged as the leader of pictorialist photography. In 1916 White co-founded the Pictorial Photographers of America (PPA), a national organization dedicated to promoting pictorial photography. Like the Photo-Secession, the PPA sponsored exhibitions and published a journal. But unlike the Photo-Secession, the PPA consciously refrained from exclusivity and advocated using pictorial photography as a medium for art education. White served as the association's first president until 1921.White's photographs are black-and-white, romanticized, pictorialist images. Women and children were favorite subjects, and White was praised for capturing the character of his models. White composed his images carefully, often taking hours to pose models and frame the photograph. White also experimented with darkroom techniques including platinum and gum bichromate prints. During his lifetime, White's images were widely acclaimed as the pinnacle of the art form.Quotes about White• "I think that if I were asked to name the most subtle and refined master photography has produced, that I would name him... To be a true artist in photography one must also be an artist in life, and Clarence H. White was such an artist." Alvin Langdon Coburn• "What he brought to photography was an extraordinary sense of light. The Orchard is bathed in light. The Edge of the Woods is a tour de force of the absence of light."
