Highlights from Stieglitz's Legendary Photographic Diaries (19031917)
Photographer, writer, editor, and exhibition curator, Alfred Stieglitz (18641946) was a visionary. At the beginning of the 20th century, he founded Photo-Secession, a progressive movement concerned with advancing the creative possibilities of photography, and in 1903, he began publishing Camera Work, an avant-garde magazine dedicated to expressing the ideas of the Photo-Secession in both images and words. Camera Work was the first photography magazine with a visual rather than technical focus, featuring top-quality hand-printed photogravure illustrations on Japanese paper. This book brings together a wide selection of 50 issues of the magazine.
