About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1983. Cloth, xlv, 466 pages, 24 pages of plates, illustrations, portraits; 23 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Soft crease/last few leaves. Stated First Printing. Dust jacket price-clipped on the front flap, with light edgewear, protected in a mylar cover. "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. . 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo.
