Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. xlv, 466 pages, 24 pages of plates, illustrations, portraits; 23 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear. *** "This memoir/biography of American photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) provides a portrait that both traces his background and reveals the interplay between his character and his multi-faceted career. Stieglitz was instrumental over his fifty-year career in making photography an accepted art form. The author, Stieglitz's grand-niece, presents the man in all of his complexity, tracing his background and revealing the interplay between his character and his multifaceted career. She offers new insight into Stieglitz's relationships with artists such as Marin, Hartley, Dove, Steichen, and O'Keefe; his pioneering promotion of Europe's most radical artists through the Photo-Secession group and the 291 gallery; and his creation of some of our century's most enduring photographic images. Gracefully weaving personal reminiscence and verifiable fact, she interweaves Stieglitz's career with his personal life." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.

"The greatest photographic exhibition of all time--503 pictures from 68 countries"--Title page of standard edition. 207 pages : chiefly illustrations ; 29 cm. "This ambitious exhibition, which brought together hundreds of images by photographers working around the world, was a forthright declaration of global solidarity in the decade following World War II. Organized by noted photographer and director of MoMA's Department of Photography Edward Steichen, the exhibition took the form of a photo essay celebrating the universal aspects of the human experience. Steichen had invited photographers to submit photographs for consideration, explaining that his aim was to capture "the gamut of life from birth to death" - a task for which, he argued, photography was uniquely suited. The exhibition toured the world for eight years, attracting more than 9 million visitors.".
