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.

This review is from: Alfred Stieglitz (Aperture Masters of Photography) (Hardcover)
A small, but diverse representation of Stieglitz's work, well presented and of good quality. A good introduction.
