Alfred Stieglitz. Camera Work

<p>Photographer, writer, publisher, and curator <strong>Alfred Stieglitz</strong> (1864–1946) was a visionary far ahead of his time. Around the turn of the 20th century, he founded the <strong>Photo-Secession, a progressive movement</strong> concerned with advancing the creative possibilities of photography, and by 1903 began publishing <em>Camera Work</em>, <strong>an avant-garde magazine devoted to voicing the ideas, both in images and words, of the Photo-Secession</strong>. <em>Camera Work</em> was the first photo journal whose focus was visual, rather than technical, and its illustrations were of the highest quality hand-pulled photogravure printed on Japanese tissue. <strong>This book brings together all photographs from the journal’s 50 issues.</strong></p>
