Between the Walls, New York
Edward J. Steichen American, born Luxembourg
Not on view
After World War I Steichen gave up painting and returned to photography with renewed vigor. Partly as a result of his work in aerial reconnaissance during the war and partly because of the aesthetic modernism then advocated by his friend and mentor Alfred Stieglitz, his photographs became increasingly sharp and unmanipulated-in striking contrast to the soft focus and complex processing that characterized his photographs at the turn of the century.
