Biography:
THE exhibition of photographs by
Bertrand II. Wentworth of Gardiner,
Maine, which was held in the gallery of
the Society of Arts and Crafts, Bos-
ton, U. 5. A, during the last two weeks
in March, proved to be a source of gen
uine delight. In the Interpretation of
atmospheric effects and perspective they
represent the last word. They afford
pleasure even to the most exacting art
critics, for in purity and beauty of tones
these pictures of n,ist-laden shore and
island rival the finest efforts of the mas
ter painter. The impressive scenery of
rocky Monhegan, familiar to Mr.. Went
worth by long visits and studious OBJ
servation, has yielded up to this artist
photographer all it's mystery and charm
which, through his expressive medium
of lens and paper he has translated into
visions of beauty.
Mr.. Wentworth's technical mastery
is supreme; indeed, it seems as if his
pictures are spontaneous creations. This
is true of his shore views and of his
water scenes-in the woods and in the
open. A view of a patch of golden rod
relieved against a subdued background
OF evergreens, of this collection is one
that will live long in the memory. 1t is
also interesting to note that each of Mr.
Wentworth's pictures bore an arpropri-
ate and felicitous title. The exhibit con-
sisted of So enlarged prints and had been
seen previously in Brooklyn. New York
Youghkeepsie. Newark Philadelphia
Washington. Indianapolis, Cleveland,
Detroit, Grand Rapids and Chicago"
