EARLY AMERICAN MODERNS
Painters of the Stieglitz Group
By Mahonri Sharp Young

The first American painters to be called "modernist"
—Demuth, Dove, Hartley, Marin, Maurer, O'Kee'h and Walkowitz—were discovered in the early decades of this century by the great photographer, Alfred Stieglitz, whose galleries were the first to exhibit these pioneers of the modern movement. In this first book on the revolutionary painters of the Stieglitz circle, Mahonri Sharp Young, Director of the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, examines the life and work of each artist, and the role of Stieglitz as financial backer, spiritual supporter, and propagandist. Each artist is represented by a selection of his early work in full color.
