Green marbled cloth wraps with green lettering on spine beige illustrated dust jacket with white lettering ix 112 pp. bw illustrations. "The architectural firm of Greene and Greene 1893-1922 created an architectural form that has become indigenous to the southern half of California; theirs is not an anonymous art. Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene were an integral part of their creative time and place and although part of a continuum and indebted to other influencers 'Greene and Greene' evokes a unique image. This image has in turn exerted considerable influence upon the architects and subsequent years not solely in southern California and encouraged a 'Greene and Greene' mythology. The contents of this guide set forth what they did what they said and how they were regarded by some of their contemporaries. This is an invitation to a firsthand interpretation." - dust jacket description. Grant Dahlstrom hardcover books

"When in 1915 Stieglitz saw Strand's radically new approach to photography which embraced the inherent characteristics of the medium and its materials together with the ideas of the artistic avant-garde he felt committed once again to communicate in Camera Work the importance of photography as a vital art form. Stieglitz had been striving for precisely this synthesis of formal abstraction and poetic expressiveness a synthesis which embodied an American aesthetic and syntax. In his October 1916 issue of Camera Work Stieglitz wrote of Strand: 'His work is rooted in the best traditions of photography. His vision is potential. His work is pure. It is direct. It does not rely upon tricks of process. In whatever he does there is applied intelligence. In the history of photography there are but few photographers who from the point of view of expression have really done work of any importance. And by importance we mean work that has some relatively lasting quality that element which gives all art its real significance'" Kaspar M.
