Description

STEICHEN, Edward. A Life in Photography, New York: Doubleday, 1963. Hardcover (gold-stamped black cloth), 11 Â½ x 10 inches, unpaginated, 249 screen-gravure illustrations, dustjacket.
An even-handed, autobiographical look at the great American photographer's long career, published ten years before he died. Steichen begins with his apprenticeship as a printer in Milwaukee, moves through his time as a painter and pictorialist in Paris, his association with Alfred Stieglitz and modern art, and then his photographs from World War I, fashion, theater, advertising, portraiture, World War II, and late color work. He also covers his time as a curator at the Museum of Modern Art, where his most important contribution was the wildly popular 1955 show, â€œThe Family of Man.â€ Well illustrated in high-quality gravure. Very good condition.
