Alfred Stieglitz at Lake George /

This is a catalog for a 1995-96 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. It includes an essay by the Director Emeritus, Department of Photography-MOMA, followed by extensive notes. There are 64 high-quality images printed one to a page on coated paper in tritones and duotones, as well as a list of works in the exhibition providing nomenclature for each print. This exhibit brings together photographs from the Stieglitz collection at the National Gallery of Art, which have not been widely exhibited before. The catalog adds to the literature available on Alfred Stieglitz by showing and discussing the work he produced during the 1920s and 1930s while spending summers at Lake George in the Adirondacks. The text is written to serve general readers as well as researchers. It does not replace Stieglitz: A Memoir/Biography (1983) or America and Alfred Stieglitz: A Collective Portrait (1934/1979), both of which are more extensive and broader in scope. But the quality of reproduction in this catalog is superior to that found in both of those books, and the focus on a single important period of Stieglitz's life is unique. General; undergraduate (including two-year technical) through professional. C. Stroh; Kansas State University
