Description
EDWARD STEICHEN, Vitality - Yvette Guilbert, Paris, 1901, 9.5x6.6" Photogravure from Camera Work, Issue 42/43, April/July 1913, Printed 1913.
This early Steichen fashion photograph was of the famous caberet singer Yvette Guilbert, also a scholar, author and actress. Taken in 1901 it is clear that Steichen was drawn to the fashionable. By the 1920s he was one of America's leading fashion photographers.
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.
