Paul Strand (American, 1890-1976) Paris from Notre Dame , 1911. Titled and signed "...Paul Strand" in graphite below the image, blindstamped "©1912 BY P. STRAND" l.l. Hand-colored platinum print, image/sheet size 8 7/8 x 6 15/16 in. (22.5 x 17.7 cm), unmatted, framed. Condition: Tipped to original mount along top edge, gently light-struck. N.B. With its unusual bird's-eye view and emphasis on geometric patterns, this print from c. 1912 bridges Strand's early adoption of a Pictorialist style and his embrace of the modernist, "straight" photography aesthetic championed by the influential photographer and modern art promoter Alfred Stieglitz.
