Alfred Stieglitz

Alfred Stieglitz (January 1, 1864 – July 13, 1946) was an American photographer and modern art promoter who was instrumental over his fifty-year career in making photography an accepted art form. In addition to his photography, Stieglitz is 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.

As an artist I love Alfred Stieglitz images. They remind me of a Romantic landscape painting and his portraits brought life to the person in a time when portrait images where very cold and stiff. He truly made art from the photographic image.
