Overview
The work of J. Craig Annan (1864-1946) all but disappeared after his death, strangely so, considering his reputation and the important international role he played in the fight for the recognition of photography as an art in its own right. Annan, a son of the photographer Thomas Annan, became a leading member of the Linked Ring. He exhibited widely in both Europe and America. In 1901 he organised a huge international exhibition of Pictorial Photography in Glasgow. Annan championed the work of his fellow Scots Hill and Adamson whose influence can sometimes be seen in his restrained portraiture. His superb photogravures often capture fleeting moments and imbue them with a quiet resonance. They were beautifully published both in Die Kunst in der Photographie and Camera Work.Book Details
