Description
EDWARD STEICHEN, Landscape in Two Colors, 1906, 6.4x7" Halftone from Camera Work Steichen Supplement, April 1906, Printed 1906.
Steichen was a painter, and used the half-tone and tri-tone processes as well as hand-tinting on Camera Work prints.
Edward Steichen (1879-1983) along with Alfred Stieglitz led an aesthetic revolution that helped shift photography from being merely a documentary record to an art form capable of interpretation and expression. During his long life Steichen was a successful artist, recognized for his elegant pictorial photographs and tonalist studies of moonlit landscapes. He was also a fashion photographer, curator, writer, and technical innovator. Influenced by the abstract tendencies of Modernism he shifted to a straight style of photography concerned with pure design and strong compositions. Yet his early pictorial photographs filled with soft focused, painterly effects are some of his finest work.
