1900-1920

Richard Polack

A photographer in the 20th century he takes very strong influence from the works of Vermeer and Pieter De Hooch

Artist and His Model

Artist and his model is a painting with very strong influence coming from Vermeer's painting The Art of Painting, both paintings have similar interior design (flooring, chandelier and the curtain) and although different the positioning of the subjects are very similar.

The Art of Painting

Edward Steichen

His photography journey started when he took his work to Alfred Stieglitz and three of his photographs were bought. Together with Stieglitz the 'Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession' were started and many of his works were shown in this gallery that was held in Steichen's studio. His work was mainly posed portraits however he also photographed landscapes and a documentary of a horse racing venue.

Eva Watson Schutze



Schutze was another founding member of the Photo-Secession and often her work was presented and exhibited in the 291 gallery. Her clients enjoyed the composed,romantic striking figure of her portraits.  

Anne Brigman

She photographs in a pictorialist style; female nude figures in landscapes. She said that she wanted the female figure to become part of the landscape not just apart from it but inside it. She spent years caring for the same trees that she photographed many times. Her work was invited to be part of the Photo-Secession by Alfred Stieglitz and it is easy to see why; Stieglitz wanted to show that photography can be an art form and Brigman's work is very artistic.
