Everywhere progress is being made in the acceptance of photography as a valid and needful art form. The formation of a Department of Photography at The Museum of modern art photography Art in 1940; the founding of the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House in Rochester in 1949; the scheduling of major photographic exhibitions by leading art museums in Europe and America; the growing interest in photography on the part of individuals as well as institutions; the inclusion of courses in the photographic arts by universities and art schools are all steps toward the ultimate unquestioned acceptance of the potentials of the camera. |
