This photogravure is from a compilation of photographs by the famed American photographer Alfred Stieglitz. The original photographs were taken between 1917 and 1930. This series was printed in 1978. Each image in this series depicts his lover and later wife Georgia O'Keefe (USA 1887-1986), also a famous American artist. The folio size photogravure was printed by the Meridian Gravure Company on Monadnock Caress paper. Printed on one side only (only the plate number is on reverse). A vital force in the development of modern art in America, Alfred Stieglitz's significance lies as much in his work as an art dealer, exhibition organizer, publisher, and editor as it does in his career as a photographer. He is credited with spearheading the rise of modern photography in America in the early years of the twentieth century. He also ran a series of influential galleries, starting with 291, which he used not only to exhibit photography, but also to introduce European modernist painters and sculptors to America and to foster America's own modernist figures - including his later wife, Georgia O'Keeffe. Insistent that photography warranted a place among the fine arts, Stieglitz's own work showed great technical mastery of tone and texture. We combine shipping whenever feasible.
