The Rose<\/em> is one of Eva Watson-Sch\u00fctze\u2019s most famous photographs, published along with Head of a Young Girl <\/em>(seen below) in the January 1905 edition of Camera Work. <\/em>In 1905, Watson-Sch\u00fctze\u2019s colleague Joseph Keiley also published an article in Camera Work<\/em> extolling her as a strong example of a Pictorialist photographer.This insistently vertical and narrow photograph has theatrical and allegorical aspects, as well as a timeless feel. The woman\u2019s elaborate gown with two distinctive embroidered panels feels like it belongs to a long-ago era or as if it is a costume. Watson-Sch\u00fctze draws an allegorical equivalence between the woman and the rose, made emphatic by the photograph\u2019s title. The unusually long rose stem also helps to reinforce the verticality of the composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watson-Sch\u00fctze has roots in this region. Born in New Jersey, she studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She was among the founding members of the Photo-Secession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [UD_EXHIBITION_ITEM]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like The Rose<\/em> (seen above), this diaphanous image of a young woman by Eva Watson-Sch\u00fctze was published in Camera Work<\/em> in 1905. The woman\u2019s distinctive headdress helps to emphasize that her upper torso appears to be nude\u2014though the focus is so soft that it is difficult to discern aspects of this image clearly. In this particularly sensual and sensitive photograph the figure\u2019s arms and veil dissolve and blend with the background, and all the details of the image are muted and indistinct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [UD_EXHIBITION_ITEM] The Rose is one of Eva Watson-Sch\u00fctze\u2019s most famous photographs, published along with Head of a Young Girl (seen below) in the January 1905 edition of Camera Work.
