Description: | A photographic portrait study entitled 'A Girl's Head', taken by Gertrude K�sebier (1852-1934) in about 1905.
An American, Gertrude K�sebier was a pioneering portrait photographer. Her best-known images are of mothers and children and she often used members of her own family as models. After studying art she opened a photographic studio in New York in 1898. In 1900 she became a member of the Linked Ring Brotherhood and in 1902 became one of the first members of the Photo-Secession. Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was an admirer of her work and devoted the first issue of his journal 'Camera Work' to her photography. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph platinum print | Temporal: | c. 1905 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | K�sebier, Gertrude (1852-1934) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20262 | Go to resource |
