Alfred Stieglitz, Photographs & Writings

Le livre

This volume presents seventy-three of American photographer Alfred Stieglitzs finest works. The photographs span Stieglitzs entire career; his early European studies from the 1880s and 1890s; his views of New York City from the turn of the century; the portraits of the many artists and writers he supported; the extended portraiture of Georgia OKeefe; his photographs of clouds, the Equivalents; and his final studies of New York City and Lake George from the 1920s and 1930s. This book focuses on Stieglitzs central vision of photography (search for objective truth and pure form) which increasingly was about antiphotographs or images that move beyond simple representation. Originally published as a complement to the exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in 1983.
