	Paul Strand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paul Strand (October 16, 1890 – March 31, 1976) was an American photographer and filmmaker who, along with fellow modernist photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston, helped establish photography as an art form in the 20th century.
		It was a departure that marked the beginning of Strand’s long exile from the prevailing climate of McCarthyism in the United States.
		Strand also insisted that his books should be printed in Leipzig, East Germany, even if this meant that they were initially prohibited from the American market on account of their Communist provenance.

		Paul Strand: Circa 1916 explores a moment in the artist's career when he broke away from the soft-focus aestheticism of his early pictorialist style to invent a distinctive modernist approach that in many ways anticipated certain stylistic developments in Europe.
		Strand remained influenced throughout his career by his instructors at the Ethical Culture School, including social reformer and documentary photographer Lewis Hine, who encouraged Strand to develop his own social conscience in capturing the world in front of him.
		Paul Strand circa 1916 is accompanied by a 168-page catalogue of the same title, featuring fifty-seven tritone and thirty-five duotone reproductions, with an essay by Maria Morris Hambourg, curator of photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

		During World War I in New York, Paul Strand nailed that sort of epochal delirium so authoritatively that one's first reaction to the work he made then may be to salute it like a flag.
		Strand, in his 20s, gave photography specialized formal lexicons and professional attitudes keyed to a sense of the modern world as perfectly unprecedented and bound for intelligent glory.
		Strand, a Jewish kid raised in a hothouse milieu of social and esthetic idealism (he went to Ethical Culture high school), began his career on a photographic scene dominated by the foggy loveliness of Pictorialism, as practiced by Edward Steichen and Clarence White.

		Stieglitz rightly described Strand’s work as having a spirit of “brutal directness.” He went on to say that the photos were “devoid of all flim-flam; devoid of trickery and of any “ism”.
		Later Strand photographed the inside of his own movie camera -- he supported himself partly through newsreel work -- as if to say that machine forms were at least as beautiful as roses.
		Strand and the photography he represented proved enormously important for later photographers and those of his generation, who underwent a kind of aesthetic conversion.
