Alfred Stieglitz

Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was a German-American modernist photographer and art promoter. He is considered one of the most important figures in the development of modern photography. Stieglitz was born in Germany but immigrated to the United States in 1890, where he became a pioneer of impressionist and modernist photography. He founded the Little Galleries of the Photographic Society (later known as 291) in New York City, which showcased avant-garde art, including works by European modernists.
