Additional Details



As a student at the Ethical Culture School in New York City, Paul Strand enrolled in extra-curricular photography classes taught by Lewis Hine, then a teacher of nature and geography. Hine introduced Strand to Gallery 291, Alfred Stieglitz's modernist art space, which influenced Strand to pursue a career as an artist-photographer.
