Few individuals have exerted as profound an influence on 20th-century
American art and culture as Alfred Stieglitz (1846-1964). This two-volume
boxed set is the catalogue of the Alfred Stieglitz Collection of Photographs
at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the most complete Stieglitz
holding in the world, donated to the gallery by his widow, the artist Georgia
O'Keeffe. Numbering 1642 photographs, the collection represents the full
range of the master photographer's work - from early studies made in Europe
to views of the majestic New York skyline to intimate portraits of O'Keeffe.
Coinciding with a travelling exhibition and providing complete scholarly
apparatus and a chronology, these volumes demonstrate how Stieglitz absorbed
the advanced artistic concepts of his time into photography and transformed
the medium. |

Photographer, writer, publisher, and curator Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946)
was a visionary, far ahead of his time. Around the turn of the 20th century
he founded the Photo-Secession, a progressive movement concerned with advancing
the creative possibilities of photography, and by 1903 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, and its illustrations
were of the highest quality hand-pulled photogravure printed on Japanese
tissue. This book brings together a broad selection from the journal's
50 issues. |

Stieglitz New York
by Bonnie Yochelson
Hardcover from Skira Rizzoli
Published: 2010-09-14
ISBN: 0847834905
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
Iconic images of the city from one of the masters of photography collected
for the first time in a charming homage to lost New York. Here is "The
City of Ambition"--the New York that inspires dreams, the Gotham of the
early twentieth century, when grand skyscrapers sprouted everywhere amid
columns of steam. Alfred Stieglitz--the legendary art impresario and husband
of Georgia O'Keeffe--forged a paean to his native city, finding inspiration
on the streets, from the harbor ferry, and in the high-rise views. In her
essay, respected art historian Bonnie Yochelson places Stieglitz's work
within the context of the burgeoning commercial world around him and other
artists of the period. Stieglitz witnessed a key period in New York's history
when the city suddenly transformed into a modern metropolis. As a child,
he grew up in an upper Fifth Avenue brownstone still surrounded by empty
lots and dirt roads. Naturally, he was fascinated by the monumental buildings
rising around him, and you can sense his wonder in these images. Among
the classic buildings he so artfully captured here are the (now demolished)
Madison Square Gardens, the Flatiron, Rockefeller Center, the Waldorf Astoria,
the Chrysler, and the Empire State. His images formed archetypes that would
go on to shape the imagination of generations. This intimate volume makes
for a beautiful souvenir of timeless New York, a city of striving and dreaming. |

Stieglitz: A Legacy of Light
by Ms. Katherine Hoffman
Hardcover from Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300134452
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hoursIn Stieglitz: A Beginning
Light, Katherine Hoffman presented an account of the early years of
the career of Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) and of his European roots. Now,
she offers a compelling portrait of his life and art from 1915 to 1946,
focusing on his American works, issues of identity, and the rise of modernism
in America.
Hoffman explores Stieglitz's roles as photographer, editor, writer,
and gallery director; how they intersected with his personal life -- including
his marriage to artist Georgia O'Keeffe -- and his place in the cultural
milieu of the 20th century. Excerpts from previously unpublished correspondence
between Stieglitz and O'Keeffe reveal the fervor and complexity of their
relationship as well as his passion for photography and modern art and
his ongoing struggle to have photography recognized as an established artistic
medium. These letters, along with his work as an editor and writer of short
articles, illuminate Stieglitz's literary side, thus giving a new perspective
on his total oeuvre.
Generously illustrated with 300 images, this intriguing, beautifully
written book separates the photographer's true personality from the myths
surrounding him and highlights his lasting legacy: the works he left behind. |

Alfred Stieglitz (1864-46) is one of the most revered artists in the
history of the photographic medium. Via his influential journal "Camera
Work", which he edited and published from 1903 to 1917, and his galleries
291, The Intimate Gallery and An American Place, he championed, published
and exhibited much of the best art, European and American, of the period.
He also created his own outstanding body of photographic work and it is
this which has firmly established his reputation as one of the great 20th-century
artists. |

Stieglitz,
Steichen, Strand: Masterworks from The Metropolitan Museum of Art
by Malcolm Daniel
Hardcover from Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 0300169019
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), Edward Steichen (1879-1973), and Paul
Strand (1890-1976) are among the most famous photographers of the 20th
century. This handsome volume showcases for the first time the Metropolitan
Museum's extraordinarily rich holdings of works by these diverse and groundbreaking
masters.
A passionate advocate for photography and modern art promoted through
his "Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession" (also known as "291") and
his journal Camera Work, Stieglitz was also a photographer of supreme
accomplishment. Featured works by Stieglitz include portraits, landscapes,
city views, and cloud studies, along with photographs from his composite
portrait of Georgia O'Keeffe (selected by O'Keeffe herself for the Museum).
Steichen--perhaps best known as a fashion photographer, celebrity portraitist,
and MoMA curator--was Stieglitz's man in Paris, gallery collaborator, and
most talented exemplar of Photo-Secessionist photography. His three large
variant prints of The Flatiron and his moonlit photographs of Rodin's
Balzac are highlighted here. Marking a pivotal moment in
the course of photography, the final double issue of Camera Work
(1915-17) was devoted to the young Paul Strand, whose photographs from
1915 and 1916 treated three principal themes--movement in the city, abstractions,
and street portraits--and pioneered a shift from the soft-focus Pictorialist
aesthetic to the straight approach and graphic power of an emerging modernism.
Represented are Strand's rare large platinum prints--most of them unique
exhibition prints of images popularly known only as Camera Work
photogravures.
The rarely exhibited photographs gathered in Stieglitz, Steichen,
Strand are among the crown jewels of the Metropolitan's collection. |

Stieglitz:
A Beginning Light
by Ms. Katherine Hoffman
Hardcover from Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300102399
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
This beautifully written book weaves together biographical, historical,
and artistic strands to present a colorful tapestry of the photographer
Alfred Stieglitz's (1864-1946) early life and work. Generously illustrated,
the volume includes photographs Stieglitz took in Europe (some rarely seen),
his first works in the United States, and Katherine Hoffman's new photographs
of important sites in young Stieglitz's life. The book is the first to
look closely at the photographer's formative years and photographic works
before 1917.
Although Stieglitz was born in New Jersey, his ancestry lay in Germany,
where he spent some of his high school and university years. Stieglitz:
A Beginning Light traces the lasting influences of European
culture on his work, as well as the impact of American democratic traditions.
The book also recounts his tireless and often lonely efforts as a young
photographer, editor, writer, and gallery director to gain recognition
for the Modernist cause and for photography as a fine art. |

Alfred
Stieglitz: A Biography
by Richard Whelan
Paperback from Da Capo Pr
ISBN: 0306807947
Alfred Stieglitz is perhaps best known for his spiritually rich photographs
of his surroundings, family, friends, and the many women he loved, including
his second wife, painter Georgia O'Keeffe. But his influence went beyond
his own individual artistry. At his gallery "291" he presented the first
American exhibitions of Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, and
Rousseau. His militant advocacy of photography as art won widespread acclaim
for the medium. By detailing his many pursuits and passions, his turbulent
relationships and pioneering work, this biography provides a chronicle
and contribution to the history of American art. |
