Meanwhile, in the life of Alfred Stieglitz
The whole life1934
Credo: “straight” photography without tricks
In 1934 Stieglitz explained: “Personally I like my photography straight, unmanipulated, devoid of all tricks; a print not looking like anything but a photograph, living through its own inherent qualities and revealing its own spirit.”
1936
One of the first Ansel Adams exhibitions
In 1936 Stieglitz briefly returned to his photographic roots by mounting one of the first exhibitions of Ansel Adams's photographs in New York City; the show was a success, and David McAlpin bought eight of them.
1937
Heart disease ends his photography
In 1937 Stieglitz gave up photography because of serious heart disease; he continued to run An American Place until his death.
