From 1900 to the 1960s, Steichen devoted himself to photography: artistic, industrial, fashion, nudes, portraits or landscapes. His legacy remains omnipresent; text by William A. Ewing, photographs reproduced in duotone, biographical and bibliographical notes.
There is hardly a photographic genre to which Edward Steichen has not applied his talents and achieved singular success. Whether art or industrial, fashion or beauty photographs, celebrity portraits, cityscapes or rural landscapes, nude or choreographic studies, his legacy remains omnipresent. A curious and inventive mind, Steichen could afford such diversity, he who denounced habit and routine, and warned against schools of thought. Introduction by William A. Ewing, 61 color photographs and biographical and bibliographical notes.
