Camera Work

Alfred Stieglitz published the legendary journal Camera Work
between 1903-1917.The journal played an important part in the
history of photography and reflects a turning point - from pictoralism
to modernism. Bearing in mind the terrible suffering affecting millions
of people during the World War I it was almost a necessary shift;
World War I brought the end of Pictorialism as an innovative force in
photography. Many of the leading artists in the movement were wealthy
amateurs, and the contented, bourgeois world view embodied in the style
was no longer tenable in the face of the horrors of that conflict.
/Charles Hagen NYT, october 27 1992.
