Wasn`t he that irritating man - sort of a fanatic, really-who preceded Stieglitz?" Thus dimly, faceless, the almost forgotten Image of Peter Henry Emerson comes down to us, ringed in the tongues of fire of his own rhetoric. ``He the founder of contemporary photography?" Who else, before, had proclaimed that photography was an independent and potentially great art form capable of expressing thoughts and emotions beyond the scope of the other and older art forms? It was Emerson who was the first to work out an aesthetic based on its unique powers and its then hmitations, which he believed might soon be overcome. It was he who wrote the first manual on straight photography as an art in its own right, Naturalistic Photography for Students of the Art, 1889, which was aptly described as "a bombshell dropped at a tea party." Indeed, apart from the seientists. British photography was at that time quite as polite and superficial as a tea party. But Emerson was a scientist, a naturalist, a physician, and an artist: he was real, and in deadly earnest. (aus dem Buch) 3e3b P. H.
