Sinossi
Fotografo, scrittore, editore e curatore Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) era un visionario in anticipo sui tempi. Nel 1903 iniziò a pubblicare Camera Work, una rivista d'avanguardia che dava voce - con parole e immagini - al movimento da lui fondato, la Photo Secession. Fu la prima rivista di fotografia a fare proprio un punto di vista estetico piuttosto che tecnico, presentando riproduzioni di altissimo livello stampate su tessuto giapponese. Questo libro presenta una selezione delle migliori opere tratte dai primi 50 numeri.

Recensioni
First a disclaimer: This book is not solely about the work of Alfred Stieglitz and, while it contains several of his photographs, it is by no means a complete collection and the vast majority of these photos are by unknown photographers from the turn of the twentieth century, mostly between 1900 and Leggi tutto
En una edición de Taschen, cocido a mano, edición trilingüe inglés-alemán-francés, cuando lo vi en una "librería de viejo" en San Telmo, me dije: Esta oportunidad no se repetirá jamás. Alfred -en su tiempo- parece adelantado en el tiempo. Más aun, es injusto el mismo paso del tiempo con el arte del Leggi tutto
It's a gorgeous collection of Stieglitz's photographic work but I would have loved more to read.
Camera Work was among the first places where Americans could see cubist art. It included beautiful reproductions of works by Rodin, Matisse, and Picasso as well as photographers like Edward Steichen, Paul Strand, and Clarence H. White. Few know about this groundbreaking journal, and many more should Leggi tutto
I stumbled on this book while doing some research into photogravure, which is such a uniquely striking medium with the depth of the images produced through it. Apparently Alfred Stieglitz was a real champion of the process and of pictorial, fine art photography in general. Many of the images in Came Leggi tutto
Alfred Stieglitz is an important figure in the History of Photography, both as photographer, gallerist, curator and editor. He heavily influenced the development of American photography and helped promote European artists, such as Picasso and Matisse, in the USA, and the book's essay portrays him we Leggi tutto
Книжка, яку варто переглядати багато разів. Повільно, читаючи кожен підпис, наскрізно, зупиняючись на окремих знімках, за номерами, за авторами через покажчик. Адже це альбом з фотографіями. Точніше, з репродукціями репродукцій, але це вже деталі. Camera Work містить всі фото, які були опубліковані в Leggi tutto
This book wasn't exactly what I thought I was getting, being a compiling of the photography magazine Alfred Stieglitz produced in the early 20th century. Thus, it featured many different photographers, not just Stieglitz. There was also a very wordy essay (published in three different languages!) to Leggi tutto
Muy buena calidad de impresión, muy recomendable para la mesita del living.
