161923330N. Y.: Camera Work 1916-1917. First only editions oftThe final two issues of Alfred Stieglitz's monumental photographic periodical Camera Work including in number 48 the earliest appearance in print of the work of Paul Strand and in number 50 an issue entirely dedicated to the work of Strand. Limited to 500 copies printed. "The work of Paul Strand was the first photography to excite Stieglitz in a long time. He saw Strand as practicing a truly photographic version of the kind of forceful representation he found in painters like Picasso and Matisse and he presented Strand's work as a clean break even changing the time-tested production methods of Camera Work Strand's photogravures were printed on thicker paper and with different inks." - Roth 101 pp. 42-43. Issue No. 48 includes six photographs by Strand six halftones by Steiglitz of installations at his gallery 291 and single photographs by Frank Eugene Arthur Allen Lewis and Francis Bruguiere. Issue No. 49/50 includes eleven original photogravures all after work by Strand among them "The White Fence" "Abstraction Porch Shadows" and "Abstraction Bowls". One cannot overestimate the importance of these two issues of Camera Work. As Milton Brown has noted the appearance of Strand's portrait series herein "was a revelation. Even today they are strikingly powerful images; they were then a new stage in photographic realism. The close-up views and cropping of negatives cut off the subjects from their environment sometimes even breaking the frame and riveting attention entirely on the physiognomic and psychological revelation of individuality character and social condition. . . . Strand's experiments with abstraction and the machine were his unwitting contribution to the history of photography: the portraits basic to the rest of his development are the first clear expression of his own aesthetic philosophy." - Milton W. Brown "The Three Roads" in Paul Strand: Essays on His Life and Work. Edited by Maren Stange. Aperture 1990 p. 29. Although not noted in the volumes these two issues of Camera Work came from the collection of James Johnson Sweeney at various times the Curator of Painting and Sculpture at MOMA the second Director of the Guggenheim Museum and the Director of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. .

A fierce proponent of modern art in America Stieglitzs infamous 291 Gallery on Fifth Avenue was the first to champion the avant-garde of European and American art and photography. His stewardship of Strand had a profound effect cultivating in Strand one of the greatest modernist photographers of the era. Aperture has drawn some of his most notable images for this portfolio from the Paul Strand Archive; they include City Hall Park New York 1915; From the El New York 1917; and Yawning Woman New York 1916. Describing Strands oeuvre Stieglitz said: In the history of photography there are but few photographers who from the point of view of expression have really done much 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. . . . The work is brutally direct. Devoid of any flim-flams; devoid of trickery and any ism devoid of any attempt to mystify an ignorant public. A Very Fine Pristine As New copy. The Aperture Foundation. hardcover books
