Abstract
:
"This volume, published to accompany the first posthumous European retrospective of Edward Steichen's work, traces Steichen's career trajectory from his early Pictorialist beginnings to his time working with Conde Nast and his directorship of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Hundreds of vintage photographs are accompanied by essays from a range of scholars who explore Steichen's most important subjects and weigh his legacy. With full bibliography and a chronology of his life and career, this is the most complete and wide-ranging volume on Edward Steichen ever published."--Jacket.
