Modern Art and America: Alfred Stieglitz and His New York Galleries

Le livre

This volume on Alfred Stieglitzs photographs and his circle of artists provides a comprehensive overview of the complex inter-relationship between all of his activities as a photographer, publisher and gallery director. The book is divided into two sections, the first focuses on Stieglitzs introduction of European modernism to America and the second on his role in forming a distinctly American form of modernism during the 1920s. The book features 190 colour and 160 black-and-white reproductions of work from seminal figures such as Brancusi, Cezanne, Matisse, Picabia, Picasso, Demuth, Dove, Hartley, Georgia OKeeffe, Paul Strand and Stieglitz himself, accompanied by essays from leading scholars.
