Light Study, 1946
HENRY HOLMES SMITH
September 14 – November 5, 2016
Henry Holmes Smith (1909-1986) was an innovative photographer and an influential writer and teacher. He was instrumental in establishing the photography program for László Moholy-Nagy at the New Bauhaus in 1937 and went on to teach for 30 years at Indiana University where founded the first MFA program in photography. Because of his all-consuming dedication to teaching, Smith would go for long stretches of time without producing work; his greatest periods of artistic output were from 1946-52 and after 1970. Throughout his career Smith remained transfixed by color and its expressive potential. Dye-transfer printing, a 3 color separation process, was integral to Smith’s artistic expression as it allowed him to layer images and color in a free and intuitive manner.
