Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 336 Seiten, 250 Abb. Leinen mit Schutzumschlag 26,60 x 31,50 cm - Edward Steichen (1879 1973) ist einer der einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten der Fotografiegeschichte, seine künstlerischen Fotografien gehören zu den Klassikern des Mediums. Steichens Vielseitigkeit ist unerreicht, dennoch vermag sein Name bis heute Diskussionen auszulösen, weil Kritikern manche seine Bilder zu stilisiert oder kommerziell erscheinen. Die Genres der Porträt-, Akt-, Mode-, Landschafts-, Stadt-, Kriegs-, Werbe- oder Stilllebenfotografie hätten sich jedoch ohne Steichens Experimentierfreude und das dramatische Flair seiner Bilder anders entwickelt. Selbst in seiner Jugend als Maler erfolgreich, machte Steichen als Kurator einflussreicher Ausstellungen Picasso, Matisse oder Rodin in den USA bekannt, stellte Meisterwerke anderer Fotografen aus und erwies sich zudem als begabter Typograf und Werbegrafiker. Die umfangreiche Publikation stellt mit Hunderten von Arbeiten alle Facetten seines unglaublich produktiven Schaffens vor.
