Copyright© Estate of Edward J. SteichenMore Information
Edward Steichen's prolific images bridged the gap between art and commercial photography. An avid portrait maker, Steichen made numerous images of fellow photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), with whom he collaborated on the journal Camera Work from 1903-1917 and the 291 Gallery: an important early venue for promoting avant-garde art in the United States. As Chief Photographer for Condé Nast, Steichen photographed many celebrities for publications like Vanity Fair and Vogue, such as this matter-of-fact portrayal of architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959).
