- Summary
- "Although its circulation never exceeded one thousand, 'Camera Work' (1903-1917) was one of the most beautiful and most influential publications in the history of American art. Along with the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, commonly called 291 (1905-1917), 'Camera Work' was Alfred Stieglitz's vehicle for attaining an equal place for photography among the other fine arts. In the pages of 'Camera Work' Stieglitz published the work of the leading Pictorial photographers of the day from the United States and Europe: Gertrude Käsebier, Eduard J. Steichen, Clarence H. White, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Joseph T. Keiley, Frederick H. Evans, Robert Demachy, Theodor and Oscar Hofmeister, J. Craig Annan, Heinrich Kühn, George H. Seeley, Baron Adolphe de Meyer, Annie W. Brigman, Frank Eugene, Alice Boughton, Karl F. Struss, and himself among others. And he reintroduced the public to the nineteenth-century Scottish portraitists David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson and the English photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. 'Camera Work' also provided some of the first critical commentary on photography as a fine art written by Keiley, Annan, Steichen, Demachy, and Stieglitz himself, and by leading critics of the day like Charles H. Caffin, George Bernard Shaw, and Sadakichi Hartmann." -- Introduction.
