Description: "The Illuminating Mind in American Photography looks at the ideas, images and lives of four major twentieth century American photographers: Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), Paul Strand (1890-1976), Edward Weston (1886-1958), and Ansel Adams (1902-1984). The Illuminating Mind unearths archival manuscripts and forgotten publications, and reveals unrecognized psychological intricacies to these men as they progressed through their careers. It is a kind of comparative biography, showing the interrelationships of their lives as well as their shared themes and experiences."--BOOK JACKET.
