Edward Steichen's Self-portraits

Abstract

In 1898, Edward Steichen made a photographic self-portrait in which he presented himself as a modest, unassuming youth (figure 1). Three years later in another self-portrait, he proclaimed himself an artistic genius (figure 2). The changes in style, content and meaning from the first to the second picture resulted not just from Steichen's coming of age as a photographic artist, but also from the objectives of Alfred Stieglitz and the pictorialist movement.
