John G. Bullock, Maxfield Parrish, and George, Mary and William Vaux: Photographers of the Real

10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

Marshall Fine Arts Center, Atrium Gallery

Haverford College alumni have played an important role in the development of photography since its co-inventors Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre and William Henry Fox Talbot announced its birth in 1839. This exhibition features photographs, manuscripts and related works that bring together important photographs that John G. Bullock (1854-1939) Haverford 1874, Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) Haverford 1892, and George Haverford 1884 (1863-1927), William (1872-1908) Haverford 1893 and their sister Mary Vaux Walcott (1860-1940) made during the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. All were birthright Quakers born in Philadelphia and its environs; and they were nurtured by Philadelphia culture and its traditions.

John G. Bullock was one of the chief proponents of photography as a fine art. By virtue of his memberships in Philadelphia Photographic Society and the Photo-Secession under the leadership of Alfred Stieglitz, Bullock played a major role in the establishment of the institutional infrastructure for the promotion locally and nationally of photography as a fine art form. The Vaux brothers and sister used photography to document the Canadian Rocky Mountains as an aspect of their scientific studies of glaciers. The Vaux’s work continues to be relevant due to increasing concern regarding climate change. Later they became associate members of the Photo-Secession.

Maxfield Parrish was an artist who is best known for his illustrations, many of which appeared in the Philadelphia based Saturday Evening Post. Parrish used his photographs as study aids for his artwork. He made beautiful images based on a keen observation of the landscape, light and form. Parrish’s photographs have not been seen in generations.

This exhibition is made possible by recent gifts to Haverford’s Fine Art Photography Collection by Tina Vaux McCauley, a descendant of the Vaux family and Robert Bishop, a descendant of John G. Bullock, and by a recent acquisition of Maxfield Parrish’s photographs.
