Trade paperback. Condition: Very Good. Alfred Stieglitz (January 1, 1864 July 13, 1946) was an American photographer and modern art promoter who was instrumental over his 50-year career in making photography an accepted art form. In addition to his photography, Stieglitz was known for the New York art galleries that he ran in the early part of the 20th century, where he introduced many avant-garde European artists to the U.S. He was married to painter Georgia O'Keeffe. "Alfred Stieglitz (1864â??1946) is perhaps the most important figure in the history of visual arts in America. That is certainly not to say that he was the greatest artist America has ever produced. Rather, through his many roles â?? as a photographer, as a discoverer and promoter of photographers and of artists in other media, and as a publisher, patron, and collector â?? he had a greater impact on American art than any other person has had.".

Condition: Good. 10 x 10.5 in., Hardbound, 232 pages, 12 color and 82 tritone illustrations New condition.The Eye Club, unofficially founded around 1975, was the nickname given to the loose conglomeration of individuals who found themselves among the first new collectors of photography. Operating purely on instinct and the love of seeing, these few dozen people (including Sam Wagstaff, Andre Jammes and other now-legendary collectors) shared a distaste for established pantheons and veered instead toward the lesser-known, the anonymous, the outré or any photograph emanating sparks of electricity.Assembled in a related spirit of adventure, the nearly one-hundred extraordinary images in The Eye Club weave back and forth through the history of photography to reveal little-known images by some of the medium's most influential artists. Published to mark Fraenkel Gallery's twenty-fifth year and printed with exceptional fidelity, The Eye Club presents a surprising feast of images for the eye and the mind.

Add to basket4to, pp. 48, [12 (advertisements)], with 8 photogravures; text mostly unopened (all plates opened); some offsetting to adjacent blanks, hinges cracked in two instances, a faint dampstain to foot of inner hinge corner throughout, but generally a very good copy; in the original grey printed paper wrappers; edges creased and chipped, foot of spine chipped.The 1909 issue of Alfred Stieglitz's seminal quarterly journal of photography, Camera Work, intended to establish photography as a fine art and called 'by far the most beautiful of all photographic magazines' (Whelan). Camera Work was published between 1903 and 1917 during which time fifty issues were made. Through Camera Work, Steiglitz brought together photographers from America and Europe, an endeavour he viewed as 'the logical outcome of the evolution of the photographic art' (Stieglitz, 'AnApology', Camera Work (1903)). The nine photogravures on Japan tissue were made by the Scottish photographer James Craig Annan (18641946) from works by Hill & Adamson: Principal Haldane; The Marquis of Northampton; Handyside Ritchie and Wm. Henning; Sir Francis Grant, P. R. A.; Mrs. Anna Brownell Jameson; Lady in Black; Lady in Flowered Dress; Girl in Straw Hat; and Mr. Rintoul, Editor "Spectator". Photogravures after David Octavius Hill had been published in Camera Work numbers XI and XXVIII, also made by Annan from the original paper negatives. The photogravures are accompanied by short pieces on, inter alia, modernity and decadence (Benjamin de Casseres), on photography (George Bernard Shaw), and a note on an exhibition of Arthur B. Carles' work by Paul Haviland. Annan had caught Stieglitz's attention in 1896 in The Amateur Photographer, where he gave advice on using the new hand camera, which did not make use of a tripod. Stieglitz later drew upon Annan's writing in The American Annual of Photography the following year, in which he agreed that the photographer must set up the composition, then wait for the right moment to capture. In this number of Camera Work, Annan is also praised: 'It is also rare good fortune that Mr. Annan, while himself one of the pioneers of pictorial photography and second to none in his admiration of Hill's work, is also a master of the photogravure process'.See Buchanan, The Art of the Photographer, J. Craig Annan 18641946 (1992); Whelan, Alfred Stieglitz: A Biography (1995). Language: English.
