Alfred Stieglitz was a pivotal American photographer and modern art promoter who spent fifty years making photography a respected art form. Beyond his own lens work, Stieglitz was renowned for his New York galleries in the early 20th century, where he introduced many avant-garde European artists to the U.S. His legacy lies in his dedication to elevating photography and his role in shaping American modern art.
In 1903, Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) began publishing "Camera Work", an avant-garde magazine devoted to voicing the ideas, both in images and words, of the Photo-Secession. "Camera Work" was the first photo journal whose focus was visual, rather than technical. This book brings together a broad selection from the journal's 50 issues.
This collection of half-tone and photogravure reproductions from all 50 issues of the legendary photographic magazine produced by Stieglitz contains the work of Eduard Steichen, Frank Eugene, Clarence H. White, & others, as well as Stieglitz's own photography and original essays. Intro in English, German, French.
