Alfred Stieglitz Livres

Der Fotograf, Schriftsteller, Verleger und Kurator Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) war ein Visionär und seiner Zeit weit voraus. Um die Jahrhundertwende herum gründete er die Photo-Secession, eine progressive Bewegung , die sich der Förderung kreativer Fotografie widmete. Ab 1903 gab er das Avantgarde-Magazin Camera Work heraus, um den Ideen der Photo-Secession ein Forum in Wort und Bild zu geben. Camera Work war die erste Fotografiezeitschrift, deren Betonung auf dem visuellen und nicht auf dem technischen Aspekt der Fotografie lag, und ihre Illustrationen im mechanischen Verfahren der Fotogravüre auf Japanpapier waren von höchster Qualität. Dieses Buch zeigt alle Fotografien aus den 50 Ausgaben der Zeitschrift.

"""Les photographies (que prend Stieglitz) des choses et des personnes - du soleil et de la forme des nuageséquivalent à un questionnement de la vie contemporaine, profondément critique mais affirmatif. Elles sont les conclusions, belles et objectives, de ce questionnement."" Paul Strand."

Camera Work was a first journal photo whose focus was on visual, rather than technical. This book brings together a selection from the journal’s 50 issues.

Returning to print after fifteen years, a high-quality collection of seventy-three images from the career of the pioneering photographer features portraits of artist Georgia O'Keeffe and early twentieth-century New York City. 10,000 first printing.

This catalogue presents the annual salon and exhibition of amateur photography from 1895, showcasing a collection of works by emerging photographers of the time. It serves as a historical document, reflecting the artistic trends and cultural context of the late 19th century. The reprint maintains the original quality, offering insights into the photography techniques and styles that were popular among amateurs during this era.

There are few couples in the history of 20th-century American art and culture more prominent than Georgia O'Keeffe (1887–1986) and Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946). Between 1915, when they first began to write to each other, and 1946, when Stieglitz died, O'Keeffe and Stieglitz exchanged over 5,000 letters (more than 25,000 pages) that describe their daily lives in profoundly rich detail. This long-awaited volume features some 650 letters, carefully selected and annotated by leading photography scholar Sarah Greenough. In O'Keeffe's sparse and vibrant style and Stieglitz's fervent and lyrical manner, the letters describe how they met and fell in love in the 1910s; how they carved out a life together in the 1920s; how their relationship nearly collapsed during the early years of the Depression; and how it was reconstructed in the late 1930s and early 1940s. At the same time, the correspondence reveals the creative evolution of their art and ideas; their friendships with many of the most influential figures in early American modernism (Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, and Paul Strand, to name a few); and their relationships and conversations with an exceptionally wide range of key figures in American and European art and culture (including Duncan Phillips, Diego Rivera, D. H. Lawrence, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Marcel Duchamp). Furthermore, their often poignant prose reveals insights into the impact of larger cultural forces—World Wars I and II; the booming economy of the 1920s; and the Depression of the 1930s—on two articulate, creative individuals.
