Paul Raphaelson пишет важное про Адамса и Стиглица (раз, два).

"He was one of many photographers who trumpeted the ideas of modernism, while being completey (probably unconciously) entrenched in romanticism. This kind of confusion often leads to intersting results. Some tension finds it way into the work that might have been eliminated by a less conflicted artist. Stieglitz is an even more obvious example of this phenomenon".
