Over a professional life spanning seven decades, Edward Steichen (1879–1973) established himself as one of the most important figures in the history of photography. What is less known is that for much of that time Steichen also devoted himself to the nurturing of plants and gardens, an activity that sustained him and through which he developed ardently held beliefs regarding the relationship among art, nature, and creativity. Edward Steichen and the Garden and the accompanying book provide a portrait of the artist through the lens of the garden. The exhibition draws from the George Eastman Museum's significant archive of Edward Steichen's work to present the story of Steichen's response to nature.Enjoy opening remarks; a book signing by Sarah Anne McNear, curator of Edward Steichen and the Garden as well as author of the accompanying book; and light refreshments in the Potter Peristyle.
