Photo Club de Paris
The Photo-Club de Paris was an association of French art photographers . Members of the club included the well-known French photographers Constant Puyo and Robert Demachy .
history
The Paris-based club was created in 1888 by splitting off from the Société Francaise de Photographie with the aim of promoting artistic interests in photography. So it was founded at the time when the pictorialism style emerged in photography.
In 1892 the club resided on Rue de Roder. President at that time was Maurice Lereguet, Secretary Paul Bourgeois. In 1906 he had his seat in the Rue des Mathurins. The club published its own magazine between 1891 and 1902, the Bulletin du Photo-Club de Paris .
The Première Exposition d'Art Photographique was the first public exhibition of the Photo-Club de Paris and took place from January 10th to 30th, 1894 in the Galeries Georges Petit in the Parisian Rue de Sèze. It was the first French exhibition of art photography and one of the most important worldwide at the end of the 19th century. Since the aim was for photography to be recognized as an art form, five painters, a sculptor and an art critic were represented in the ten-person exhibition jury in addition to two photographers; Armand Dayot, Inspector of Fine Arts, was chaired.
The event was internationally oriented, with French and foreign photographers exhibiting, including those from the USA, the United Kingdom and Germany.
The club disbanded in 1928.
