Edward Steichen American, 1879-1973 "In Memoriam, New York, 1902" Photogravure 1902 (printed about 1981) "Gift of Warren J. and Margot Coville, 1997" MF97.1.100 Does this look like a work of art, compared, for example, to the naked black woman in the adjoining photograph? Why? Is it the pose? The lighting? The charcoal-drawn effect of the so-called "pictorialist" style in which the photograph was made?
