A Celebration of America250 We’re concluding our series for the United States’ 250th celebrations by honoring an extraordinary Luxembourg-American: Edward Steichen 🇺🇸🇱🇺 From Luxembourg to Michigan, Wisconsin to the global stage, Edward Steichen’s journey is that of a true visionary who transformed photography forever. Born in Luxembourg in 1879 and raised in the United States, Steichen became a pioneering photographer, painter, and curator who helped establish photography as a modern art form and a powerful means of communication. Working across fine art, fashion, documentary, and exhibition-making, he influenced visual culture on both sides of the Atlantic. As Director of Photography at the MoMA The Museum of Modern Art in New York, he curated more than 50 exhibitions—including #TheFamilyofMan (1955), one of the most famous and widely visited photographic exhibitions of all time. As we celebrate America250, we invite you to capture moments in the spirit of Edward Steichen—and preserve your memories through photography 📸 To learn more about Edward Steichen and other Luxembourg-Americans, visit our website: https://washington.mae.lu/en/actualites/2021/EdwardSteichen.html #LUinUS #LUXimpact #America250
