Alfred Stieglitz

1. Alfred Stieglitz was an American photographer. He worked to promote Modern Art and make Photography an accepted form of art. He also opened many art galleries in New York to present his work.

2. 

These are my two favorite photographs of Alfred Stieglitz. In the first photo, I love the reflection the tree produces off the water, the smokey/foggy atmosphere makes the photo feel mysterious. I the second photo, the texture and shape of the clouds interest me. They are really interesting and pretty.

3. Alfred Stieglitz was married to Emmy when he was invited Georgia O'Keeffe to work with him in his studio. Alfred had and affair with Georgia and later divorced Emmy to be with Georgia. Georgia O'Keeffe was a famous painter during the early 1900's. She would paint portraits on a large scale then paint the objects as if they were close up.

Extra: Georgia O'Keeffe provided the muse that Alfred Stieglitz wanted. This changed his style of photography. He began taking more portraits especially nude photographs of Georgia O'Keeffe. He was inspired by her and her work. His portrats began to increase in popularity to his peers and society around him.
