The Illuminating Mind in American Photography:: Stieglitz, Strand, Weston, Adams
by University of Rochester Press (Hardcover)
The Illuminating Mind looks at the ideas, images and lives of four major twentieth century American photographers: Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), Paul Strand (1890-1976), Edward Weston (1886-1958) and Ansel Adams (1902-1984). Largely because of their efforts, Americans came to accept photography as a fine art. This book examines the lives of these four photographers within the context of their times, sketching not only their contributions to American modernism, but also their struggles with epistemological and representational questions that echoed throughout American culture. They were all interested in the relationships between the artist and his subject, the knower and the known, the mind and its objects. For them, photography was not passive transcription of the outer world; instead, it is an exploratory process in which the artist interogates and probes that world. Thus they regarded photography as a creative art in which the mind illuminates its subjects, and they believed ...

Alfred Stieglitz (1864-46) is one of the most revered artists in the history of the photographic medium.

Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Notes
by W. W. Norton & Company (Paperback)
"Camera Notes" was a significant American photographic periodical from 1897 to 1903. Published quarterly by the Camera Club of New York and edited by Alfred Stieglitz, it represented a critical phase in the campaign to legitimize the photographic image as an artistic pursuit. Throughout most of its 6-year life the publication also included articles on photographs as fine art, as well as hundreds of halftone images and high-quality photogravures. This volume focuses on the journal and its influence, reproducing all the more than 250 halftones and the photogravures in their original tones.

Georgia O'Keeffe A Portrait by Alfred Stieglitz
by Metropolitan Museum of Art (Hardcover)
The artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) and the photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) first met in 1916, when she heard that he was giving her drawings their first public showing - without her consent. The following year Stieglitz began his portrait of his future wife, according to his idea that a portrait was not just one photograph, but a series that would portray the many aspects of a person. Expanded from the original edition, which was prepared with O'Keeffe's assistance in 1978, this book includes a representative selection of 79 of the hundreds of photographs which were taken over a period of 30 years.

Alfred Stieglitz: Photography at Orsay Series (Photography at the Musee Dorsa)
by 5 Continents Editions (Paperback)
Alfred Stieglitz (1864 - 1946) was internationally famous in his time. He was the founder of Photo-Secession and the editor of Camera Work magazine. Later, he mounted pioneering exhibitions of European avant-garde art, from C,zanne to Picasso, in his gallery at 291 Fifth Avenue, New York. This book's publication coincides with a major Stieglitz retrospective at the Mus,e d'Orsay, accompanied by an exhibition of the Stieglitz prints in its own collection. It includes images from his Pictorial period (1890-1910), particularly some strikingly impressionistic views of New York (gravures from Camera Work), capturing the city's phenomenal growth at the turn of the century. Stieglitz's later work is magnificently represented in prints recently donated by the Georgia O'Keefe Foundation. These sharply focused and highly descriptive works communicate the photographer's distinctive approach to reality. The admirable nude shots of the artist Georgia O'Keefe (later Stieglitz's wife) are ...
