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.

 A Year in the Life - Paul Strand's breakthrough moment. By Luc Sante   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
"Paul Strand: Circa 1916" is the appropriately dazzling record of that period, gathering for the first time nearly all his surviving work of the time--a mere 60-odd photographs--into a sort of time-lapse film of the process of discovery.
Soon erstwhile Photo-Secessionists were chafing under the harness, but Strand immediately took to the more conservative elements, and between 1911 and 1913 he produced appropriately languid views of shimmering water; decorative sheep; and unfocused, mildly erotic light effects.
Back in New York, Strand started investigating the graphic dynamism at work in the shadows thrown down by the el tracks, and he began seriously investing in the possibilities of the overhead vantage, a Modernist urban trope he would will to Berenice Abbott and sundry Germans and Russians.

 The History Connection :: The Strand Magazine
Comment: Although the stories and interviews in The Strand are well worth reading, I think it is worth saying that there are not many stories per issue, and, at least in the case of John Mortimer's Rumpole stories, they are taken from forthcoming books.
That being said, The Strand is worth the four stars I've given it, but I would describe it as a "coffee-table" magazine, if such a category exists, due to its glossy pages, large size format, and relatively low number of stories and interviews in content.
The Strand publishes the finest short stories--the mystery stories are written by renowned award winning writers, who are at their best when they write for the Strand.
