The Connotation of Alfred Stieglitz's Works

The message of nationalism is also reflected in Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946). He is a photographer, perhaps the most important patron and defender of American modern art from 19 15 to 1935. Before and after the armory exhibition, Stie Gerriets opened a "29 1" gallery (named after its location at No.291on Fifth Avenue) to introduce and promote the art of Parisian modernist painters, such as Blancucci, Matisse and Picasso, as well as American painters and sculptors influenced by European styles, such as John Marin. 1870- 1953, Alfred maurer (1868-65448 "291"gallery maintained its operation until 19 17, and Stig Gretz was almost completed. Stie Gerriets's own photographic works were second to none in new york in the first decade of the 20th century, which romantically displayed the architecture of the city. One of his works, Iron, shows a unique building, which he described as "like the bow of a giant steamboat approaching me-a scene in which a new America is growing".

In 19 16, Stie Gerriets put his new nationalist enthusiasm into action. This year, Stie Gerriets and four other staff members in new york helped critic Willard H Wright organize a forum and exhibition of modern American painters in Anderson Gallery. Willard H Wright and Stanton MacDonald Wright (1890–1973) are brothers. In 19 13, the latter and Morgan Russell founded a new painting style called "color symphony" in Paris. 19 15, MacDonald Wright returned to new york with his new works, and the color symphony was regarded as one of the earliest abstract styles developed by American artists. As expected by its two founders, color symphonism holds that color and sound are comparable, and colors can be arranged in different tones, just like symphony notes, which trigger different sensory emotions. MacDonald Wright's work "Oriental: Synchronous Blue-Green" is one of his early typical works, and it is a model of expressing "shape" and "quality" with various colors. Willard h wright used to have a close relationship with his brother and lived in New York for many years, so he had a good impression on many early modern artists in the United States, and regarded the exhibition of modern painters forum organized by him as a way to show their talents.
