CAMERA WORK

Photographer, writer, publisher, and curator Alfred Stieglitz was a visionary, far ahead of his time. Around the turn of the 20th century he founded the Photo-Secession, a progressive movement concerned with advancing the creative possibilities of photography, and by 1903 began publishing 'Camera work', an avant-garde magazine devoted to voicing the ideas, both in images and words, of the Photo-Secession. 'Camera work' was the first photo journal whose focus was visual, rather than technical, and its illustrations were of the highest quality hand-pulled photogravure printed on Japanese tissue. This book brings together a broad selection from the journal’s 50 issues.
