Yay! Cameras! 🙈🙉🙊┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘ [◉"]
Just came from this small exhibit at the Fitchburg Art Museum (Massachusetts). Only one week left unfortunately.
Interesting provenance next to the Stieglitz image which was given by him to Georgia O'Keefe.
A few images here.
From the museum's website:
Fitchburg, MA -- A rare and recently acquired Alfred Stieglitz image The Steerage (1907), is the centerpiece of this exhibition featuring early 20th Century American photography.
This seminal photograph, printed on Japanese tissue paper, is one of only eight existing in the world. It has been hailed as one of the greatest photographs of all time because it captures in a single image both a formative document of its time and one of the first works of artistic modernism.
The scene reveals people traveling in the lower-class section of a steamer going from New York back to Europe. "I saw a picture of shapes and underlying that the feeling I had about life," said Stieglitz.
This exhibition includes other important photographs such as Berenice Abbott's Blossom Restaurant, 103 Bowery; Arthur Rothstein's Dust Storm, Cimarron Country, Oklahoma, picturing dust bowl conditions in 1936 America.
Additionally, on display is a portfolio of ten photographs, which Rothstein printed from Farm Security Administration negatives in the Library of Congress. These photographs include the work of such greats as Walker Evans, Dorthea Lange, and Ben Shawn.
