Steichen in Color: Portraits, Fashion & Experiments

By Joanna Steichen

Book Overview

Edward Steichen was one of the world's greatest photographers, celebrated for his black-and-white images-particularly his Family of Man exhibition. But he was also an innovator in color photography who created magnificent autochromes, an early glass-plate color process that yields a unique print. This exceptional volume pays tribute to Steichen's rare and in some cases never-before-seen color work. Featuring an essay by his wife Joanna, as well as a lengthy introduction by the curator of photographs at George Eastman House, this landmark publication showcases 48 eye-opening photographs, all gorgeously reproduced in a museum-quality monograph.
