Published by Aperture.
Photographs by Alfred Stieglitz.

Alfred Stieglitz was one of the most important cultural forces in twentieth-century America. As founder of the Photo Secession movement and editor of the influential Camera Work he eschewed the prevailing “artiness” of pictorialist photography, preferring clarity of vision and “crystallized awareness.” In galleries such as “291” and An American Place he showed and championed the work of modern artists from the US and Europe. As a photographer, editor, and gallery director Stieglitz was a powerful influence on photography and on American art in general.

His Selected Essays and Notes

Published by Aperture.
By Alfred Stieglitz. Edited by Sarah Greenough. Essay by Richard Whelan.

Stieglitz on Photography is a compilation of Alfred Stieglitz's most important essays gathered from a variety of sources and published together for the first time in a single volume. Many of these writings have been unavailable for more than 50 years. In addition to Stieglitz's commentary on the development of fine-art photography, this volume includes notes and photo recipes from experiments with the early photographic processes, including early color photography and platinum and photogravure printing. The book is illustrated with over 75 black-and-white photographs by Stieglitz and his contemporaries, and contains selections of his articles in their original layouts. An eight-page four-color insert features rarely seen and never-before-published hand-tinted Stieglitz images and autochrome experiments.

Alfred Stieglitz At Lake GeorgeAlfred Stieglitz At Lake George

Published by The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Essay by John Szarkowski.

For more than a decade before World War I, Alfred Stieglitz lent much of his formidable energy to his public career as an editor, publisher, proselytizer, and art dealer. In the 1920s and 30s, he turned again to his own photography, exploring his personal world at Lake George, in the Adirondack mountains of New York, where he spent summers at a family farmhouse. He photographed the things around him--the landscape, the clouds overhead, the intimate life he led with family and friends, including Georgia O'Keefe, Waldo Frank, and Paul Rosenfeld. This body of work, radical and private, is the essential aspect of Stieglitz's achievement as a photographer, and has nowhere else been published as a coherent whole.

Stieglitz: A Memoir/BiographyStieglitz: A Memoir/Biography

Published by MFA Publications, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
By Sue Davidson Lowe. Foreword by Anne Havinga.

Stieglitz is as scholarly a production as anyone could wish, crammed with facts and trailing informative appendixes. It is also a loving and occasionally exasperated look at a contentious relative and the intimate circumstances that formed him.
--Time

A tireless exponent of the avant garde and of photography as a fine art, as well as a consummate photographer in his own right, Alfred Stieglitz was both the embodiment of rebellious New York modernism and an oddly domestic man who retained a lifelong attachment to his family's country estate. In Stieglitz: A Memoir/Biography, author Sue Davidson Lowe, Stieglitz's grand-neice, 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 as she lucidly interweaves Stieglitz's career with his personal life, Lowe presents a uniquely compelling and intimate portrait of a hugely influential, hugely enigmatic American artist.
