Notes
Although
known
primarily
as a
photographer
,
who
in
1901
was
instrumental
in
founding
the
radical
Photo-Secession
with
Alfred
Stieglitz
,
Eva
Watson
Schütze
was a
painter
as
well
as a
photographer
.
Born
in
Jersey
City
,
Eva
Watson
was
fifteen
when
she
began
studying
painting
with
Thomas
Eakins
at the
Pennsylvania
Academy
of the
Fine
Arts
. She
remained
there for
six
years
. Then for
seven
years
she
ran
a
photoreproduction
studio
with her
friend
Amelia
Van
Buren
before
setting
up
her
own
photographic
studio
in
1897
. The
next
year
she
began
exhibiting
her
photographs
at the
Philadelphia
Salon
, and in
1899
she was
elected
to the
Photographic
Society
of
Philadelphia
.
Soon
a
split
developed
within
the
Society
between
those
who
wanted
photography
to be
factual
and
documentary
and those
who
felt
it
should
aim
for
higher
artistic
ideals
.
Watson
was
strongly
on the
side
of the
latter
,
along
with
Stieglitz
, and
suggested
he
form
a
separate
organization
.
Early
in
1902
he
began
the
Photo-Secession
, a
group
that
included
the
major
art
photographers
of the
time
,
who
tended
to
work
in a
soft-focus
,
aestheticized
style
.
Eva
Watson’s
connection
to the
organization
changed
after
she
married
Martin
Schütze
in
1901
.
Schütze
was a
professor
of
German
at the
University
of
Chicago
, and
Eva
moved
to
Chicago
to be with him.
Although
she was
one
of its
thirteen
founders
, her
ties
with the
Photo-Secession
loosened
. In
Chicago
she and
Martin
found
a
new
group
of
friends
,
humanitarian
idealists
such
as
Jane
Addams
and
John
Dewey
. This
circle
had
close
connections
with the
Byrdcliffe
art
colony
in
Woodstock
,
New
York
. The
Schützes
began
visiting
Woodstock
in
1902
. They
bought
land
and
built
a
hillside
house
which
they
named
Hohenwiesen
(high
meadows)
.
Watson
Schütze
often
spent
half
the
year
there,
using
the
Byrdcliffe
darkroom
to
make
portraits
of her
Woodstock
associates
. The
great
majority
of
Watson
Schütze’s
photographs
are
portraits
of
people
she
liked
and
admired
.
