‎STRAND Paul.‎

‎Wall Street.‎

‎New York 1916. . Photogravure on japan paper from Camera Work No. 48 annotated on the reverse image size 13.4 x 16.6 cm. sheet 28.1 x 20 cm mounted and framed. An iconic image of Wall Street and a turning point in modern photography. Wall Street depicts a scene of everyday life in Manhattan's Financial District. Workers are seen walking past the J.P. Morgan building in New York City on the famous Wall Street of which the photograph takes its name. The photograph is famous for its reliance on the sharpness and contrast of the shapes and angles created by the building and the workers that lead to its abstraction. This photograph is considered to be one of Strand's most famous works and an example of his change from pictorialism to straight photography. Strand moved from the posed to portraying the purity of the subjects. There is no focal point with the lines converging off of the frame of the image. The financial building take majority of the frame. Emphasis is placed on the strong shapes created by the architecture of the building. The workers are included in the image but are faceless and are trumped in size by the massive square shapes from the building they walk past. Also the workers are captured in motion which on film makes them appear blurry. This aesthetic that Strand creates in Wall Street is his break toward the modern. Social change was important to Strand. With Wall Street he sought to portray a social message. He captured the faceless people next to the looming financial building in order to give a warning. Strand shows 'the recently built J.P. Morgan Co. building whose huge dark recesses dwarf the passers-by with the imposing powers of uniformity and anonymity' Ollman Art Review: Paul Strand: A Transition Caught on Film. The people cannot escape the overwhelming power that this modern establishment will have on their future and the future of America. He warns us to not be the small people that look almost ant-like next to this building that has a massive amount of control over the American economy. The photo now simply titled 'Wall Street' was one of six Paul Strand pictures Stieglitz published in Camera Work. In three of the six pictures humanity strides out from abstract ideas and each figure was a study in itself — an irregular item complimented by modular formats that surround it. Another set of eleven Strand photos were published in the magazine's final issue in 1917 and those pictures overwhelmingly endorsed by Stieglitz as 'brutally direct' made Strand's reputation.

A fierce proponent of modern art in America Stieglitz’s infamous 291 Gallery on Fifth Avenue was the first to champion the avant-garde of European and American art and photography. His stewardship of Strand had a profound effect cultivating in Strand one of the greatest modernist photographers of the era. Aperture has drawn some of his most notable images for this portfolio from the Paul Strand Archive; they include City Hall Park New York 1915; From the El New York 1917; and Yawning Woman New York 1916. Describing Strand’s oeuvre Stieglitz said: “In the history of photography there are but few photographers who from the point of view of expression have really done much work of any importance. And by importance we mean work that has some relatively lasting quality that element which gives all art its real significance. . . . The work is brutally direct. Devoid of any flim-flams; devoid of trickery and any ‘ism’ devoid of any attempt to mystify an ignorant public.” A Very Fine Pristine As New copy. The Aperture Foundation. hardcover books‎

‎STRAND Paul & Alfred STEIGLITZ‎

‎Camera Work. Numbers 48 & 49/50. Edited by Alfred Steiglitz‎

‎N. Y.: Camera Work 1916-1917. First only editions oftThe final two issues of Alfred Stieglitz's monumental photographic periodical Camera Work including in number 48 the earliest appearance in print of the work of Paul Strand and in number 50 an issue entirely dedicated to the work of Strand. Limited to 500 copies printed. "The work of Paul Strand was the first photography to excite Stieglitz in a long time. He saw Strand as practicing a truly photographic version of the kind of forceful representation he found in painters like Picasso and Matisse and he presented Strand's work as a clean break even changing the time-tested production methods of Camera Work Strand's photogravures were printed on thicker paper and with different inks." - Roth 101 pp. 42-43. Issue No. 48 includes six photographs by Strand six halftones by Steiglitz of installations at his gallery 291 and single photographs by Frank Eugene Arthur Allen Lewis and Francis Bruguiere. Issue No. 49/50 includes eleven original photogravures all after work by Strand among them "The White Fence" "Abstraction Porch Shadows" and "Abstraction Bowls". One cannot overestimate the importance of these two issues of Camera Work. As Milton Brown has noted the appearance of Strand's portrait series herein "was a revelation. Even today they are strikingly powerful images; they were then a new stage in photographic realism. The close-up views and cropping of negatives cut off the subjects from their environment sometimes even breaking the frame and riveting attention entirely on the physiognomic and psychological revelation of individuality character and social condition. . . . Strand's experiments with abstraction and the machine were his unwitting contribution to the history of photography: the portraits basic to the rest of his development are the first clear expression of his own aesthetic philosophy." - Milton W. Brown "The Three Roads" in Paul Strand: Essays on His Life and Work. Edited by Maren Stange. Aperture 1990 p. 29. Although not noted in the volumes these two issues of Camera Work came from the collection of James Johnson Sweeney at various times the Curator of Painting and Sculpture at MOMA the second Director of the Guggenheim Museum and the Director of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. .

The text blocks are clean bright and sound largely unopened. A bit of offsetting from plates to the facing pages as usual somewhat more pronounced in No. 49/50 but not affecting the images themselves.

Overall both issues are in near fine and extremely scarce thus. . 2 volumes small folio illustrated with 9 and 11 original photogravures respectively original printed wrappers.
