Profusely illustrated. *** "This is the first gathering in thirty years of Steichen's photographs, spanning seven decades: the landscapes, the haunting studies of flowers, the portraits of friends and family, the still lifes and cityscapes. Here are fashion photographs taken during the fifteen years Steichen worked for Vogue. And here too are the breathtaking portraits he made for Vanity Fair . . . In a personal and illuminating text, Joanna Steichen writes about her husband's passionate views on photography; about how he moved away from painting (his understanding and support of modernism helped bring the movement to this country); about his experiments with abstraction; about the repercussions of commercial success in his life as an artist; about how he and Joanna first met (through the mischievous intervention of Steichen's brother-in-law, Carl Sandberg) and how their relationship changed as they became lovers, man and wife and, finally, artist and assistant. / Joanna Steichen was born in New York City and is a graduate of Smith College and the Columbia University School of Social Work. After brief careers in theater and advertising, she worked with Steichen on his 1961 retrospective exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art and on his 1963 autobiography, A Life in Photography. She has lectured on Steichen's work and written numerous exhibition catalogues. For the last twenty-five years she has had a private practice in psychotherapy, and she is on the faculty of the Center for the Advancement of Group Studies in New York City. Joanna Steichen lives in New York City and Montauk, New York." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Next of kin; Of woods and water; Reverie; Powerful people; Challenging women; Style; The body; Artists; Early color processes; Writers; On the road; Masters of music; New York City; Glamour; Scale and symbol; Improvisation; Forces of nature; On stage; Flowers.

Hardcover. Condición: Sehr gut. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 336 Seiten, 250 Abb. Leinen mit Schutzumschlag - Edward Steichen (1879 1973) ist einer der einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten der Fotografiegeschichte, seine künstlerischen Fotografien gehören zu den Klassikern des Mediums. Steichens Vielseitigkeit ist unerreicht, dennoch vermag sein Name bis heute Diskussionen auszulösen, weil Kritikern manche seine Bilder zu stilisiert oder kommerziell erscheinen. Die Genres der Porträt-, Akt-, Mode-, Landschafts-, Stadt-, Kriegs-, Werbe- oder Stilllebenfotografie hätten sich jedoch ohne Steichens Experimentierfreude und das dramatische Flair seiner Bilder anders entwickelt. Selbst in seiner Jugend als Maler erfolgreich, machte Steichen als Kurator einflussreicher Ausstellungen Picasso, Matisse oder Rodin in den USA bekannt, stellte Meisterwerke anderer Fotografen aus und erwies sich zudem als begabter Typograf und Werbegrafiker. Die umfangreiche Publikation stellt mit Hunderten von Arbeiten alle Facetten seines unglaublich produktiven Schaffens vor.…
