Edward Steichen Photo Exhibition at Museum of Art
Edward Steichen lived large and was almost an equal to his iconic portrait subjects, who ranged from Winston Churchill to Amelia Earhart, Greta Garbo and Dorothy Parker. Steichen, subject of an elegant new show at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, was the highest-paid photographer of the time and danced on the precipice between high art, nightclub culture and fashion, valiantly making stabs at gravitas.

The exhibition features some 200 of Edward Steichen’s works, drawn from the archives of Condé Nast. It starts in 1923, the year Steichen left Paris for New York and became chief photographer at Vanity Fair and Vogue. The images are grouped year by year through the mid-1930s. The earliest shots often feature dancers and actors in highly theatrical poses, and today such stylization is likely to feel a little mannered. Fortunately, Steichen loosens up over the years, and a greater naturalism creeps into his work. (Broward New Times)
