"Stieglitz...love of the machine (camera)" "the camera, an expression of young desire"

"destructive side of Alfred Stieglitz..." Dorothy Norman

"as if something hot, dark, and destructive was hitched to the brightest star..." (O'Keefe on Stieglitz)

Where did you see that painting? I rarely go up to Taos, nonetheless have had a couple of rewarding visits. Excellent pizza.

The Harwood Museum of Art has one on display at the moment. There's also a high-end art gallery that seems to have one occasionally. The last time I priced one they were asking $90,000. If you ever want to come up I can show you around.

Thanks for the invite. I've seen great stuff at Harwood. Maybe springtime!

I'm learning to read more effectively...less skimming.

Just starting to get into the Stieglitz crowd and many of its gut responses and initial responses to his work. An eye-opener. Think I'll be able to read this on/off for a month and will try to find a comprehensive/good Stieglitz photo book (any recommendations?).
