A fascinating biography of a revolutionary American artist ripe for
rediscovery as a photographer and champion of other artists Alfred
Stieglitz (1864-1946) was an enormously influential artist and
nurturer of artists even though his accomplishments are often
overshadowed by his role as Georgia O'Keeffe's husband. This new
book from celebrated biographer Phyllis Rose reconsiders Stieglitz
as a revolutionary force in the history of American art. Born in
New Jersey, Stieglitz at age eighteen went to study in Germany,
where his father, a wool merchant and painter, insisted he would
get a proper education. After returning to America, he became one
of the first American photographers to achieve international fame.
By the time he was sixty, he gave up photography and devoted
himself to selling and promoting art. His first gallery, 291, was
the first American gallery to show works by Picasso, Rodin,
Matisse, and other great European modernists. His galleries were
not dealerships so much as open universities, where he introduced
European modern art to Americans and nurtured an appreciation of
American art among American artists.
