THE DOOR
Among the artists who signed the door, only one, Paul Thompson, was a photographer. This fact came as a surprise as the curators worked on the exhbition. Other signers were interested in photography, certainly: notably, Sadakichi Hartmann contributed significant work to Alfred Stieglitz’s influential periodical Camera Work, and signer Vachel Lindsay wrote an important early critical work on motion picture film.
