Alfred Stieglitz Photography (Part 4)

 

These are the 4th and last part of my Alfred Stieglitz photography collection. I hope you enjoyed them.

I want to end this collection with some quotes from the photographer:

(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Stieglitz)

• "Photography is a fad well-nigh on its last legs, thanks principally to the bicycle craze."

• "I have always been a great believer in today. Most people live either in the past or in the future, so that they really never live at all. So many people are busy worrying about the future of art or society, they have no time to preserve what is. Utopia is in the moment. Not in some future time, some other place, but in the here and now, or else it is nowhere."

• "Nearly right is child's play."

• "Photography is not an art. Neither is painting, nor sculpture, literature or music. They are only different media for the individual to express his aesthetic feelings… You do not have to be a painter or a sculptor to be an artist. You may be a shoemaker. You may be creative as such. And, if so, you are a greater artist than the majority of the painters whose work is shown in the art galleries of today."

Alfred Stieglitz Photography (Part 1)

Alfred Stieglitz (January 1, 1864 – July 13, 1946) was an American photographer and modern art promoter who was instrumental over his fifty-year career in making photography an accepted art form.

In addition to his photography, Stieglitz is known for the New York art galleries that he ran in the early part of the 20th century, where he introduced many avant-garde European artists to the U.S.

He was married to painter Georgia O'Keeffe.
