Peeler Alfred Stieglitz (Masters of Photography Series) by Dorothy Norman, Alfred Stieglitz (Hardcover - September 1997) ( one of the less expensive - if you're just starting with Alfred ...) Alfred Stieglitz : An American Seer by Dorothy Norman The Britannica concludes: "A
born leader, Stieglitz had an infallible eye, a flexible, inquiring
mind, and a temperament conducive to battling for his revolutionary
beliefs. Almost single-handedly, he launched his country into the
20th-century art world, not only in the field of photography but in
painting and sculpture as well. He awakened the public by exposing
it, for the first time, to the best of modern art. With camera and
pen, with fiery harangues in his own galleries, he goaded Americans
away from their complacent artistic tradition, which largely had
been confined to the imitation of European academicians since the
19th century, and worked for the recognition of the contemporary
artist in the United States as a force in the international art
world." |

Antonio Canova and the Politics of Patronage in Revolutionary and Napoleonic Europe by Christopher M. S. Johns see also The Three Graces : Antonio Canova by Timothy Clifford(Editor), |
|
According to the Britannica:
Canova was as
important in the development of the Neoclassical style as Jacques-Louis David
in painting. Canova's domination of European sculpture at the
turn of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th is reflected
in countless adulations in memoirs, poems, and newspapers. . Sublime,.
. superb,. and . marvelous. are adjectives
frequently found describing Canova's work in his lifetime, although
his reputation as a sculptor declined considerably during the
following century. More

CAPA WAS THE MASTER FOR THE 20th Century ... check it out ... If you like photography ... you've got to get to know Robert Capa According to the Britannica: Robert Capa's pictures of war made him one of the great photojournalists of the 20th century. "He first established himself in Paris by representing his photographs as the work of Robert Capa, a fictitious American photographer who was so rich he refused to sell his work at normal prices. The deception was soon discovered, but he retained the pseudonym. Capa first achieved fame as a war correspondent in the Spanish Civil War. ... In World War II he covered much of the heaviest fighting in Africa, Sicily, and Italy for Life magazine, and his photographs of the Normandy invasion are some of the most memorable of the war. In 1947 Capa joined with the photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson and David Seymour to found Magnum Photos, the first cooperative agency of international free-lance photographers. ... In 1954, however, he volunteered to photograph the French Indochina war for Life and was killed by a land mine."
