"Applying for artist grants is a great way for artists to supplement their income to ease the financial burden that often comes as part of being a working artist. These grants listed help artists pay for materials, studio space, or even their rent, allowing artists the time to make work without the day-to-day pressure of paying bills—giving them the freedom to make work in an unrestricted manner and dedicate their time to being fully creative.

Edward Steichen's Glamour Photography at the Flagler Museum

Actress Marlene Dietrich

Edward Steichen was an amazing artistic talent! He was the man who transformed portrait photography into a dramatic art. He did this through his black and white celebrity photos for Vanity Fair and Vogue in the 1920s and 1930s. In the hands of conventional photographers of the day, these portraits would have resulted in stiff conventional poses.

Amelia Earhart

But not through the eyes of Edward Steichen. He had a different vision. At these Conde Nast publications he broke from his "soft focus" style of the past and captured the essence of his subjects with dramatic black and white hard edge images. He had an uncanny knack of posing his subjects in ways that captured their total personalities--or even, one might say, their souls.

Winston Churchill

We were fortunate to have over 80 of his portraits on exhibit at the Flagler Museum this winter that included Steichen's iconic photographs of Gloria Swanson, Fred Astaire, Churchill and many others. The exhibition ran from October 16, 2018 through January 6, 2019.
