<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>American pioneer Alfred Stieglitz defined early 20th-century photography, creating the school of "Photo Secessionism" and founding cult art, literature, and avant-garde photo journal Camera Work. This beautiful book reproduces the entire 50-issue run, originally published between 1903 and 1917--a benchmark of photography as art form.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Photographer, writer, publisher, and curator Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was a visionary far ahead of his time. Around the turn of the 20th century, he founded the Photo-Secession, a progressive movement concerned with advancing the creative possibilities of photography, and by 1903 began publishing Camera Work, an avant-garde magazine devoted to voicing the ideas, both in images and words, of the Photo-Secession. Camera Work 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. This book brings together all photographs from the journal's 50 issues.</p><p></p><p>About the series</p><p>Bibliotheca Universalis -- Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Anyone interested in photographic history should have this book."-- "Image Magazine"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Texts by: <BR>Pam Roberts was Curator at the British Royal Photographic Society from 1982-2001.
