Herbert J. Seligmann American, 1891-1984 Born in New York City, Herbert J. Seligmann was an author and journalist who wrote about his association with Alfred Stieglitz during the 1920s in his book Alfred Stieglitz Talking. Seligmann graduated from Harvard University (1912) and from 1914 until the early 1940s worked for the New Republic, the New York Evening Post, the New York Globe, and the New York Tribune. In addition to Alfred Stieglitz Talking (1966), which recounted conversations heard while at Stieglitz's Intimate Gallery during the years 1925-31, Seligmann's publications included The Negro Faces America (1924), Race Against Man (1939), and The Letters of John Marin (1931). Interested in architectural and industrial subjects, Seligmann used the abstract qualities inherent in the scenes he photographed to create complex patterns in his images. M.M.
