It was Alfred Stieglitz's (1864-1946) persistent ministrations that finally convinced New York's Metropolitan Museum (Met) to display photographs. Today, the Met has an excellent photography collection anchored by the work of Stieglitz and his friends Edward Steichen and Paul Strand. This fine book highlights the famous, haunting views of the Flatiron Building by Steichen and Stieglitz; the latter's portrait studies of Georgia O'Keeffe; and the former's depictions of Auguste Rodin and his works.
