At age 14, Stephen Shore cold-called this photographer and sold three photos to begin his career. This avid horticulturist took the photo Heavy Roses and exhibited many new breeds of delphinium. This photographer likened an actress to a leopardess behind shrubbery in a photo of her face with a piece of black lace suspended in front of it. This photographer won an Oscar for directing the World War II documentary The (*) Fighting Lady. Inspired by both Whistler’s Nocturnes and an earlier photo of the same subject, this photographer used gum bichromate in his image of the Flatiron Building. This native Luxembourger shot The Pond—Moonlight and chose 503 photos from 68 countries for a 1955 event at the MoMA. For 10 points, Alfred Stieglitz co-founded the Photo-Secessionist gallery 291 with what curator of the exhibition The Family of Man? ■END■
