CATALOGUE NOTE
Clarence H. White came of age as a photographer when
pictorialism was the stylistic mode of the day, and he remained
involved in photography as it began to shift toward modernism.
Evident in
?Drops of Rain?
is White?s talent for
skillfully combining elements of both pictorialism and modernism in
a single image. Working with what might be considered classic
pictorialist subject matter--a young child seated in front of a
rain-spattered window screen, and posing with a transparent glass
globe--White avoids an easy sentimentalism. Through his deft
arrangement of the planes of focus ? the boy?s profile, the globe,
the screen, the hazy shapes beyond the screen?White creates a
poetic document of a real moment in time.

CATALOGUE NOTE
Clarence H. White began photographing in his early twenties in
Newark, Ohio, and exhibited his work to positive reviews almost
immediately. By 1898, he had met Alfred Stieglitz, who elected
White an honorary member of the New York Camera Club and organized
a one-man exhibition of his work in 1899. As a founding member of
Stieglitz?s Photo-Secession group, White participated in nearly
every major photographic exhibition in the United States and Europe
in the late 19th and early 20
th
centuries, including the
New School of American Photography in London (1900) and the
International Exhibition of Pictorial Photography in Buffalo
(1910). In 1907, he began to devote his energy almost exclusively
to teaching photography. He taught at the Brooklyn Institute of
Arts and Sciences and, in 1910, founded a summer school of
photography at Georgetown Island, Maine, with fellow
Photo-Secessionists Gertrude Käsebier and F. Holland Day. In 1914,
he opened the Clarence H. White School of Photography in New York
City where he taught, among others, Laura Gilpin, Dorothea Lange,
Paul Outerbridge, Margaret Bourke-White, Karl Struss, Ralph
Steiner, and Doris Ulmann.
As with the following lot, this photograph comes originally from
the collection of the photographer Laura Gilpin (1891 ? 1979), who
studied with Clarence H. White in 1916 and 1917. Gilpin first began
photographing in 1903, when her parents gave her a Brownie camera
and a developing tank for her birthday. She became an avid amateur
photographer, producing work, even as a teenager, that was notable
for its simple elegance. In 1905, while on a family trip to New
York City, Gilpin?s mother arranged for Gertrude Käsebier to make
portraits of Laura and her brother. Years later, in 1916, when
Gilpin resolved to become a professional photographer, Käsebier
advised her that the Clarence H. White School of Photography was
the best place to study. Gilpin studied with White from 1916 to
1917, and was later secretary of the White School Alumni
Association.
While it is unknown how many prints of
'Morning'
are in
existence, it is believed that only two other prints of the image
have previously appeared at auction. Both of these prints were
originally from the collection of another of White?s students,
Allie Bramberg Bode, and were offered in these rooms on 5 November
1984 (Lot 348) and 7 May 1985 (Lot 335).
