A decade after the establishment of the Department of Prints in the fall of 1916, the Metropolitan Museum began to collect photographs. The keystone of our holdings is the work of Alfred Stieglitz and a matchless collection of photographs by his most talented contemporaries that he gave to the Metropolitan in 1933. Stieglitz and his fellow Photo-Secessionists, working in soft-focus painterly techniques, won for the medium a large measure of respectability in the two decades before World War I. After the war a new generation of photographers turned from painterly styles and took radically different directions. Some of these young artists espoused the aesthetic principles of avant-garde mo

The Pope of the Avant-Garde. Tadeusz Peiper in Spain, Poland, Europe
28 May – 30 August 2015
The exhibition presents the relationship between avant-garde art and literature of the early 20th century, taking as a point of departure the oeuvre of Tadeusz Peiper – eminent poet, critic and theoretician of art.
