Johan Hagemeyer: A Pictorial Interpretation
Johan Hagemeyer: A Pictorial Interpretation at Scott Nichols Gallery. "...Formally trained as a horticulturalist, Johan Hagemeyer (1884, Amsterdam, the Netherlands - 1962, Berkeley, California) is remembered for being an early 20th century photographer, artistic intellectual, close friend and important early influence in the career of Edward Weston.
Hagemeyer emigrated to southern California in 1911 to grow fruit trees with his brothers, but it was a trip to Washington D.C. and a visit to the Library of Congress where he encountered Alfred Stieglitz's seminal publication, Camera Work. The following year in 1916 an afternoon with Stieglitz at Gallery 291 in New York City convinced him to devote his life to the then emerging world of artistic photography."
