Review:
Alfred Stieglitz had a double impact on the evolution of modern art in America. As an audacious and dedicated photographer, he fought for photography's acceptance as an art form. As a gallery owner, he introduced the American public to the greatest artists of the period: Rodin, Matisse, Cézanne, Picasso, Brancusi, Braque, and Duchamp owed their first exhibitions in America to Stieglitz's vision and energy. The large and elegant Modern Art and America, organized by Sarah Greenough, curator of photography at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, presents 360 works by artists associated with Stieglitz's galleries, including the photographer himself. The first half of the book describes the years 1905 to 1917, when Stieglitz used his Gallery 291 as an intellectual forum and a place to exhibit the work of mostly European artists. The second covers 1921 to 1946, when he focused on promoting American artists such as John Marin, Arthur Dove, Paul Strand, and Stieglitz's partner, Georgia O'Keeffe. In an imaginative re-creation of history, the editors have gone to great lengths to locate and illustrate the actual paintings, photos, and sculptures that Stieglitz exhibited. Essays by curators at the National Gallery and others describe his relationships with individual artists, successfully conveying the intellectual ferment that he inspired. Modern Art and America, printed in Italy to the highest quality standards, is an exemplary combination of scholarship and art book, a pleasure both to look at and to read. --John Stevenson

Book Description Cloth. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. Washington, D.C.: National Gallery of Art, 2001. First edition, stated. 4to. Cloth binding, 611 pp. Illustrated throughout in black and white and color on quality glossy paper. This meaty and beautifully produced art history by the curator of the Alfred Stieglitz collection at the National Gallery of Art delves into the full range of Stieglitz's activities as a photographer, gallery owner, and publisher. Through his galleries -- 291, the Intimate Gallery, and An American Place -- Stieglitz introduced modern European art to the United States and helped create a distinctly American version of modernism. His own photographs and those by Paul Strand were also of central importance. The book includes numerous in-depth essays accompanied by 135 color and 225 duotone reproductions of paintings, sculpture, drawings, and photographs by preeminent artists, many of whom were first presented to Americans by Stieglitz, including Picasso, Cézanne, Matisse, O'Keeffe, Hartley, Marin, Dove, and Demuth. A selected history of exhibitions appears at the back of the book, along with a general chronology and bibliography. A beautiful and aesthetically satisfying book. Still in publisher's shrink wrap.
