Alfred Stieglitz was een belangrijke Amerikaanse fotograaf en promotor van moderne kunst, die zich vijftig jaar lang inzette om fotografie als kunstvorm erkend te krijgen. Naast zijn eigen fotografische werk stond Stieglitz bekend om zijn galerieën in New York in het begin van de 20e eeuw, waar hij veel avant-gardistische Europese kunstenaars in de VS introduceerde. Zijn nalatenschap ligt in zijn toewijding aan het verheffen van fotografie en zijn rol in het vormgeven van de Amerikaanse moderne kunst.
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.
