Monday Morning Museum: Edward J. Steichen

Flatiron Building




Edward J. Steichen – Thursday 27 March 1879 Bivange, Luxembourg to Sunday 25 March 1973 West Redding, Connecticut

Luxembourgeois-born American Tonalist Photographer and Painter


I like this piece by Steichen – Experiment in Three-Color Photography, 1906 – it is lighter than his usual works.




Last Monday’s Artist – Pieter Bruegel The Elder
Next Monday’s Artist - Oscar Claude Monet
