It was the photographs shown at these shows and theiracclaim that encouraged Alfred Stieglitz to push forward with his ownplans in the USA.

In America Alfred Stieglitz[3] (1864-1946) was a talented photographerand he seemingly had endless enthusiasm for promoting photographythrough exhibitions, writing and social networking. Following hisresignation as editor for Camera Notes in 1903 he promoted his personalvision at the little gallery of the Photo-Secession that he ran somewhatautocratically at 291 on New York's Fifth Avenue. The founding membersof the Photo-Secession (which took its name from a modern art movementin Munich) included most of those who had contributed to the 1900London RPS show organized by Fred Holland Day.

At it's inception it seems that even the members weren't entirely sure ifthey were included in the group - but acceptance by Alfred Stieglitz wasnot to be taken lightly and people could fall out of favor and patronage justas easily as they were accepted. ^ 378.03 Pictorialism > The influence of Alfred Stieglitz onAmerican pictorialism

Almost every "artist" photographer of any consequence at the beginning ofthe twentieth century in America and most of Europe was influenced byAlfred Stieglitz. From 1903 to 1917 he was responsible for the productionof the quarterly publication Camera Work[4] and it included high qualityphotogravures stuck onto Japanese tissue by hand. The accompanyingarticles constantly promoted the view that photography was an art - itshould be remembered that this was before museums or privateindividuals, with very few exceptions, were developing photographiccollections. ^ 378.04 Pictorialism > Camera Notes About this photographer | Photographs by this photographer

Camera Work[5] was the key publication of the Photo-Secession whichwas the American spin-off of the Pictorialist movement and ran from 1903until 1917 under the total control of Alfred Stieglitz. The quarterlypublication never had a large readership swinging between about 1,000and 400 subscribers but the influence that it had over photographers andartists of the early twentieth century was out of all proportion to this. Partof the reason was that the people who contributed photographs forCamera Work also wrote widely in other more popular magazines andalso exhibited internationally. Pictorialism America Camera Work

Alfred Stieglitz took over a former studio of Edward Steichen at 291 FifthAvenue in New York to open the "Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession"(1905-1908) followed by "291" (1908-1917) where he held exhibitedphotography and art exhibitions from 1907 and 1917.[6] This was an active time for Stieglitz as from 1903 until 1917 he wasediting Camera Work which was promoting the message of photographyis an art by including Pictorialist photographs. There was an increasingtension within Stieglitz as he was drawn from proving his point aboutphotography into his examinations of modern art. His expulsion from theNew York Camera Club in 1908[7] and the change in emphasis fromphotography to modern art within Camera Work made for a confusedgroup of subscribers. He was exhibiting works by Rodin, Cezanne,Matisse and Picasso who were at the forefront of European art. By 1917 Stieglitz had divided loyalties caused by the First World War - hisparents came from Germany, he had studied there and he had friends inthe country. Two months after the United States entered the war on 6thApril 1917 Stieglitz closed 291 and his magazine Camera Work closed thesame year.[8] Although declining sales and a lack of interest in art duringthe war may have been issues an additional reason may also have beenhis increasing infatuation with artist Georgia O'Keeffe whom he had met in1916. The photographic exhibitions in the galleries included:

contemporary art The link between contemporary art and photography was explicitly madebecause Camera Work[9] promoted artists such as Rodin, Matisse andPicasso who were developing their reputations at this time. Majorphotographic exhibitions[10] such as the 1910 show at the Albright ArtGallery (Buffalo, NY, USA) promoted the hanging of photographs in artgalleries which was a break through. At this show over six hundredphotographs were hung and fifteen of the photographs purchased for thepermanent collection by the museum.[11] Camera Work was expensive to produce and declining sales through theFirst World War brought about it's cessation of publication in 1917 - butnot before it had started to feature the works of Paul Strand who sawpictorialist photography as a dead end and was developing a moderniststyle.

William Dassonville (1879-1957)[15] was American West Coast pictorialistphotographer. Although he took portraits early in his career, he is nowknown for his photographs of the California landscape, especially of SanFrancisco‘s waterfront and bay and Yosemite. ^ 378.11 Pictorialism > Anne Brigman: Pictorialist nudes About this photographer | Photographs by this photographer

PhV Photohistory Visualizer

Anne Brigman (1869-1950)[16] was a famous Pictorialist photographerand a member of Alfred Stieglitz's inner circle of the Photo-Secession.[17]Her blending of female nudes amidst the blasted pines of California wereunusual in the 1920s for their unashamed praise of ethereal but eroticforms. These are the naked spirits of A Midsummer Night's Dream -inhabitants of a primordial world and the title of her book Songs of aPagan (1949)[18] hints at this otherworldliness. ^ 378.12 Pictorialism > Edward Steichen: Pictorialist portraits About this photographer | Photographs by this photographer

Edward Weston (1886-1958) is perhaps best known for the photographsthat he took in Mexico 1923-1924 and, following a return to Californiabetween January to August 1925, further stay from then until November1926.[19] It was during this period that he explored both straightphotography and what would become Modernism. Prior to this his work inCalifornia had been influenced by Pictorialism and his portraits show this.[20]
