Never before has there been such a comprehensive overview of Alfred Stieglitz's role in bringing modern European art to America and in creating a distinctly American version of modernism. Coinciding with a major exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., that presents artists first shown in America at Stieglitz's New York galleries, this exceptional volume includes enlightening essays by leading Stieglitz scholars. 350 reproductions of paintings, sculpture, and photographs by preeminent European and American artists, including Stieglitz himself, accompany the text. Author Biography: Sarah Greenough is curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Art. She has co-authored several books about photography, including Alfred Stieglitz: Photographs and Writings (NGA 1983; reprinted 1999), and Harry Callahan (NGA and Bulfinch 1998). |
