Alfred Stieglitz:
A Powerful Influence

Few individuals have exerted as strong an influence on twentieth century American art and culture as the photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz. Through his New York galleries he introduced modern European art to this country, organizing the first exhibitions in America of work by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, & Paul Cézanne, among others & was one of the first to champion and support American modernist artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Arthur Dove, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, and Charles Demuth. Stieglitz believed that consumers should buy the works of living artists rather than those of dead artists, because living artists had far greater need of financial support.

Jiri Kolar:
Literary & Visual Artist

Jiri Kolar was a Czech poet, writer, painter and translator. His work was divided between literary and visual art. He had his first exhibitions in 1937, and in these exhibitions he displayed his collages. In 1960s he put painting and poetry together but he gradually fully turned to experimenting in visual art. In his work he used a scalpel to cut pictures out of magazines. He produced colors in his collages by gluing on printed papers. His collages were intended to influence the viewer’s outlook on life; to raise the viewer’s level of consciousness. He invented or helped to develop new techniques of collage – confrontage, froissage, rollage etc.
