"This monumental publication rediscovers and celebrates the work of American photographer Anne Brigman (1869-1950), who is best known for her iconic landscape images made in the early 1900s depicting female nudes in the Sierra Nevada. Brigman's significance spanned both coasts of the United States: in Northern California, where she lived, she was known as a poet, a critic, and a member of the Pictorialist photography movement. On the East Coast, her work was promoted by Alfred Stieglitz, who elected her as a fellow of the prestigious Photo-Secession. The ... publication includes a box containing two volumes. One is devoted to Brigman's entire career, covering her work within the contexts of the California Arts & Crafts movement and New York Modernism, as well as the relevance of her work to new dialogues about contemporary photography and gendered landscapes. Also included is a reprint of Brigman's book of poems, Songs of a Pagan, illustrated by her photographs and first published in 1949"--Box, back cover
