Alfred Stieglitz - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1864-1946).The first photographer to have his work exhibited in American art museums, Alfred Stieglitz was also a devoted supporter of modern art, particularly modern American art. The Photo-Secession group he founded in 1902 contributed to the acceptance of photography as an art form. The group’s gallery, which opened in 1905, was officially named the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, but because it was located at 291 Fifth Avenue in New York City, it soon came to be referred to as 291. Stieglitz used the gallery to provide a showcase for many European and American artists, including August Rodin, Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, and Arthur Dove.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
