DescriptionThis is a gelatin silver print photograph.Label TextPaul Strand American (1890-1976) The White Fence, Port Kent, New York, 1916 Gelatin silver print, 1970s Gift of Michael Hoffman, in honor of Joyce and Robert Menschel 92.7.1 One of the principal exponents of photographic modernism, Paul Strand was closely associated with Alfred Stieglitz in the 1910s and 1920s. In fact, Stieglitz devoted the last two issues of Camera Work to Strand's undiluted images of architecture, still lifes and candid street portraiture. During the 1930s, Strand was active as a filmmaker, but returned full-time to photography in the 1940s, extending his reputation as a master photographer and impeccable printer. As he neared the end of his life, Strand produced some of his favorite images in portfolios. The Chrysler collection includes three: Portfolios 3 and 4, each consisting of ten gelatin silver prints, and The Mexico Portfolio with 20 photogravures.
