Bernard Shea Horne

Bernard Shea Horne is recognized for a small, documented body of work active around 1916. The five known works represented in major collections suggest an engagement with early 20th-century photographic practice, encompassing technical documentation and studio studies.

The works held in institutional collections include the technical study Roll Film Holder, the geometric exploration Design, and the observational genre piece Still Life, alongside two works simply titled Untitled.

Bernard Shea Horne’s artistic credibility is established by the inclusion of these five prints in two of the most significant American art institutions: the National Gallery of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. The preservation of these works in leading institutions confirms their status as museum-quality pieces of historical interest. Today, reproductions of these works may occasionally be accessed as high-quality prints through public domain initiatives.
