Russian
Sasha Stone understood photography as techni-
que, and he thought of himself in terms of exper-
tise rather than inspiration. His production of
documents for the commercial trade made use of
tricks and wit of the kind associated with the illu-
strated magazines for which he worked as well as
avant-garde journals, such asDie FormandDas

his subject.
He was born Aleksandr Serge Steinsapir on 16
December 1895 in St. Petersburg, Russia. He lost
his parents at an early age, and at four or five years
of age he went to live in Warsaw with his mother’s
family. He completed his studies in electrical engi-

and demonstrated an extraordinary technical abil-
ity, including designing a model electrical canon that
