ALFRED STIEGLITZ (1864-1946) - a towering figure in the seminal days of photography - not just a fine photographer, but a mentor and patron to many, including Weston, Adams and others. Stieglitz also championed important painters, including his much-younger wife, Georgia O'Keeffe. Stieglitz was one of the early champions of 'photography as art', and as an independent gallery owner and collector, was able to advance this cause, publishing two important journals of photography, Camera Notes and later, Camera Work.
Our favorite Stieglitz photos: the fantastic portraits and nudes of his striking wife, O'Keeffe...
