Steichen : Biography, A

Editorial Reviews Amazon.com From his legendary association with Alfred Stieglitz in the groundbreaking 291 Gallery to his selection of photographs for The Family of Man exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, Edward Steichen (1879-1973) stood at the forefront of artistic innovation in America and Europe. Penelope Niven, biographer of Carl Sandburg (Steichen's brother-in-law), affectionately depicts her subject. She carefully assesses Steichen's three marriages, his supportive relationships with other artists, and the humanistic vision that informed his photography. Her comprehensive study reminds us of Steichen's central role in elevating photography to a crucial 20th-century art form. The New York Times Book Review, Jake Miller Nivens ... complements her own clear, lyrical voice with the eloquent words of Steichen's contemporaries.... for the most part she succeeds in weaving the many threads of Steichen's life into a seamless narrative.
