Remarks
Paul Strand’s innovative photographs were first exhibited at 291 in 1916 and reproduced in the last number of Camera Work in 1917. Throughout the late 1910s and 1920s the younger photographer was one of Stieglitz’s most ardent champions and valued supporters. Their friendship cooled in the early 1930s, however, as Strand increasingly used his art to effect social and political changes.
“One of your portraits is not bad. As a picture it is interesting” (Stieglitz to Paul Strand, 6 October 1919 [YCAL and CCP]).
