Alfred Stieglitz
Alfred Stieglitz believed in photography as fine art and he worked to promote that idea. The creator of two periodicals, Camera Notes and Camera Work, Stieglitz co-founded the group Photo-Secession along with Edward Steichen and others. He was introduced to the work of a young female artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, in 1916. Immediately impressed with her work, he exhibited ten of her paintings.
