Monday Morning Museum: Alvin Langdon Coburn




Alvin Langdon Coburn – Sunday 11 June 1882 Boston, Massachusetts to Wednesday 23 November 1966 Rhos-on-Sea, Wales

American-born British Tonalist Photographer


This image by Coburn – Cadiz, 1908 – I like because of the angular outline of the photograph’s central subject and its use conveys the illusion of looking through an unusual porthole.




Last Monday’s Artist – Francesco di Giorgio Martini
Next Monday’s Artist – Félix Henri Bracquemond
