Description
Alfred Stieglitz valued the subtle qualities of prints by fine art photographers. He personally supervised the printing of Camera Work, a prestigious art journal he published that advocated for photography’s place as a fine art. He produced the photogravures from artists’ original negatives whenever possible. Here is a rare opportunity to compare Stieglitz’s The Terminal, printed using two different photomechanical techniques. Stieglitz declared the image a milestone not only for him but for photography and seeing itself. How do the slight differences—the cropping and the range of light-to-dark values, among others—affect the image for you?- Photographs in Ink. The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (November 20, 2022-April 2, 2023).
