Held An Exhibition Of His: In 1929 a mammoth international exhibition of "The New Photography" was held an exhibition of his in Stuttgart by the Deutsche Werkbund, the German organization so instrumental in the promotion of modern architecture and industrial design. The "Film und Foto" exhibition featured photographs by the artists we have discussed in this chapter, and also a strong group of American photographs selected by Edward Weston—who also wrote a foreword to the catalog—and Edward Steichen. The American work was highly praised. Indeed, the art historian Carl Georg Heise considered Weston's portrait The Sharpshooter— Manuel Hernandez Galvdn the high point of the entire exhibition.
Although exhibitions of photography go back to the origins of the craft, a giant step forward was taken in 1937 when the Professional Photographers of America tied demonstration of skill to a degree program honoring individual competence and technique. With this development, the recognition motive has been utilized to upgrade skill and improve standards of work. Consistency of performance is another underlying principle of the Merit and Degree Program. The Master of Photography (M. Photog.) is awarded to those photographers whose superior competence and technique have been repeatedly recognized in exhibition competition. To gain the degree, photographers must earn 13 exhibition merits and 12 more exhibition or achievement merits. Exhibition merits are earned when a photograph receives a score of 80 or better in the General Exhibit at the Exposition of Professional Photography held an exhibition of his at the association's annual convention.
