Photographs At Show In Scotland
Photography, it would now seem, is the art of the Chinese.
There were 28 countries represented at the 38th Scottish Salon of Photography, which opened on June 5 in the Art Gallery, Kirkealdy, but Hong Kong left 37 of them standing, says the Scotsman.
In the first gallery, there were 24 Chinese prints compared with 18 from England, 17 from Scotland and 8 from the United States. In the second gallery, there were 17 from Hong Kong compared with 13 from England, 9 from Scotland and 8 from the United States.
At one time entries in the Scottish Salon were confined to Scotland, but at Paisley, in 1927, a collection of German and Austrian work was shown and it was decided to make all future salons international.
This year, 1146 prints were submitted in the pictorial section and less than 200 were hung.
Francis Wu’s “Two Princesses” from Hong Kong, was a velvet-smooth portrait of two Chinese girls reading.
