DateJanuary 1901
Maker
Frank Eugene
American, 1865-1938
Label TextThrough the magazines Camera Notes (published from 1897 to 1903) and Camera Work (published from 1903 to 1917), Alfred Stieglitz pioneered the idea that photography was not merely a mechanical process but an art. Frank Eugene's profile portrait of Stieglitz aspires to painterliness in the velvety tones of the cloak, and in the dramatic lighting that accentuates his sculptural profile and-especially-his intelligent and watchful eye.
