States at less than enough to

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
Color photography. for which sci
entists and artists the world over have
CROPPED for 80 years since the Old
tiagueireotype process proved that it
was possible, has been solved under
heroic conditions by an American art
list, Henry Ravell, who has lived for
20 years in the City of Mexico. An ex-5
hibt of his work, which the Salama-
gundi club Of New York was instru-
mental in having brought to this coun-
try and which it gave an enthusiastic
recognition, has been hung in Thur
ber's galleries here. an event consider
ed milestone in ths progress OF pho
Biography Like many important dis
icoveries, it was made after grim
fight, for Ravells success was in spite
OF temporary blindness and the result
Ing poverty. Twenty odd years ago
he had made his start in New York,
both as a painter and magazine Illus
traitor He won some distinction by
his Mexican pictures a; fact which took
him to Mexico 20 years ago. For sew
er.i years he painted Mexican subjects
and made copies of old masterpieces for
the mural paintings of cathedrals and
churches Then an attack of denSue
fever left him suddenly practically
blind, all the brilliant scenes tnat5 ne
reveled in reproducing blotted out by
a seemingly hopeless darkness. After
some years of distress, eyesight re-
turned enough to enable him to choose
his subjects for photography. Ravell's
new process of color photography may
be distinguished as "a painters meth-
cd" of combng and using the camera
and brush to obtain all the painters
qualities of good picture-color, tone,
texture, composition and correct draw
ing and this new method has commands
ed the serious attention and admiration
Of the art critic because it required !,
the technical training and skill of the
orthodox brush and pencil, the results
depending as much upon the ability OF
the manipulation as the quality Of q
painting depends upon the skill of the
artist.
