Lecture series by Paul Lesch, organized in collaboration with the CNA, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of The Family of Man.
Edward Steichen, an eclectic artist with multiple talents, established himself as one of the great portraitists of the 20th century. Between 1898 and 1937, he created an impressive series of portraits, including several iconic self-portraits. His photographs of celebrities of his time and family members, produced during his pictorialist period at the beginning of the 20th century or for Vanity Fair and Vogue magazines in the 1920s-30s, are among his most famous works. Relying on numerous illustrations, we will examine the history and aesthetics of his most emblematic portraits, as well as lesser-known works.
