Heinrich Kuhn's early Pictorialist works were highly influential and were exhibited at the Vienna Secession. Gradually Kuhn incorporated the influence of his peers and moved in the direction of Modernist photography. He was also among the first important photographers to create colour images. This book aims to situate Kuhn with regard to both the Viennese avant-garde and the international development of photography as an art form. It explores the close friendship between Kuhn and major photographers Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen and showcases photographic prints and autochromes by Kuhn and other important photographers.
