  5. The only consistent vectors in Steichen’s career were sentimentalism, opportunism, and a fierce dedication to craft; the first two lead directly into his becoming a benign ideological agent of corporate political power. Throughout the larger part of his career, in his advertising and fashion work and his monumental ‘photo essays,’ Steichen contributed to a falsified image of the family, of women, of consumption, of war and international politics, and of cultural freedom. A ‘global vision of life’, even in its ‘humanist’ and liberal manifestations, may serve only to mask another vision, a vision of global domination. Allan Sekula, ‘The Instrumental Image: Steichen at War’ p. 35.
