		Alvin Langdon Coburn, a child prodigy who was one of the most brilliant turn-of-the-century photographers, created and challenging images for almost a quarter century.
		While his Coburn's name is not currently well known by the general public, this major retrospective exhibition of 147 photographs spanning his entire career should help change that.

	Coburn, Alvin Langdon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Coburn was another outstanding photographer who still, perhaps, is not given the acclaim he deserves.
		Coburn passionately believed in liberating photography from the notion that it is only artistic if it depicted reality, and he is perhaps best known for producing Vortographs, non-objective photographs of such items as a piece of wood or crystal, through an arrangement of mirrors, resulting in multiple images.
		Unfortunately Coburn lost himself in astrology and the occult, and his enthusiasm for photography waned somewhat after the first world war, though he again began taking photographs in the 1950s.

		In his atmospheric photogravures of London and New York, produced between 1906 and 1910, the American photographer Alvin Langdon Coburn (1886-1966) celebrated the modern city.
		A member of the Photo-Secession, influenced by Alfred Stieglitz's call to elevate the status of photography to a fine art, Coburn sought to counter the field's documentary focus by exploring the expressive potential of the medium.
		Using such pictorial effects as soft focus and the suppression of detail, the artist provided his own particular vision of the city as a place of beauty, emphasizing natural elements--trees, water, and sky--rather than the gritty reality of the early 20th-century metropolis.
