Artist's BioAlvin Langdon Coburn (1882-1966), a child prodigy who was one of the most brilliant turn-of-the-century photographers was considered a master of photography.Born in Boston in 1882, Coburn moved to London shortly before his first exhibition with the Linked Ring Brotherhood in 1900. The Linked Ring was an organization founded in 1892 by a group of photographers that included H.P. Robinson, George Davison, and H. H. H. Cameron, Julia Margaret Cameron's son. In 1901 Coburn studied in Paris with Eduard Steichen and Robert DeMachy. In 1902, Coburn opened his own studio in New York. In New York, he studied with Gertrude Kasebier. When he was 22 years old, Coburn became a member of the prestigious Photo Secession founded by Alfred Stieglitz. From 1903 to 1909, many of Coburn's photogravures were published in "Camera Work", an exquisite and historic fine art photographic magazine that was edited and published by Alfred Stieglitz from 1903 -1917. In 1906, Coburn had a one-man show at the Royal Photographic Society in London. The show made Coburn well known in England and from that time he became a leading figure in the recognition of photography as a fine art. His works are included in many private and public collections, including but not limited to the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. |
