Summary:

This volume weaves together biographical, historical, and artistic strands to present a colorful tapestry of the American photographer Alfred Stieglitz's (1864-1946) early life and work, concentrating on his formative years and photographic works before 1917. This work includes photographs Stieglitz took in Europe, his first works in the United States, and Katherine Hoffman's new photographs of important sites in young Stieglitz's life. The author traces the lasting influences of European culture on his work, as well as the impact of American democratic traditions. The book also recounts his tireless and often lonely efforts as a young photographer, editor, writer, and gallery director to gain recognition for the Modernist cause and for photography as a fine art.
