About this Item

Alfred Stieglitz (January 1, 1864 July 13, 1946) was an American photographer and modern art promoter who was instrumental over his 50-year career in making photography an accepted art form. In addition to his photography, Stieglitz was known for the New York art galleries that he ran in the early part of the 20th century, where he introduced many avant-garde European artists to the U.S. He was married to painter Georgia O'Keeffe. "Alfred Stieglitz (1864â??1946) is perhaps the most important figure in the history of visual arts in America. That is certainly not to say that he was the greatest artist America has ever produced. Rather, through his many roles â?? as a photographer, as a discoverer and promoter of photographers and of artists in other media, and as a publisher, patron, and collector â?? he had a greater impact on American art than any other person has had.".
