| Abstract: | Abstract Just as this Stieglitz issue was going to the printer the above catalogue arrived from Munich. Imagine our surprise to discover four photographic studies for Franz von Stuck's Wounded Amazon (pp. 25, 64), taken by von Stuck in collaboration with his wife Mary around 1904 (see previous item, ‘Alfred Stieglitz's Apples’). It is possible that Stieglitz saw these photographic studies as well as the painting and drawing: after all, he was in Munich in 1904 when they were being made. Perhaps he discussed photography with the von Stucks. There were clear connections between members of the Photo-Secession and the Munich painters. Steichen photographed von Stuck in 1901, Frank Eugene made a portrait around 1907, and Coburn another in 1908 (see pp. 48-51). |
