About this title

Synopsis

Edward Steichen was one of the world's greatest photographers, celebrated for his black-and-white images-particularly his Family of Man exhibition. But he was also an innovator in color photography who created magnificent autochromes, an early glass-plate color process that yields a unique print.
This exceptional volume pays tribute to Steichen's rare and in some cases never-before-seen color work. Featuring an essay by his wife Joanna, as well as a lengthy introduction by the curator of photographs at George Eastman House, this landmark publication showcases 48 eye-opening photographs, all gorgeously reproduced in a museum-quality monograph.

He later served as director of the department of photography at New York's Museum of Modern Art until 1962. While at MoMA, he curated and assembled The Family of Man exhibit, which travelled to 69 countries and was seen by 9 million people.
