Georgia O'Keeffe's husband was Alfred Stieglitz, the photographer who founded Camera Work.
Stieglitz published Camera Work from 1903 to 1917. The quarterly journal promoted photography as a serious fine art and reproduced work by leading photographers and artists. He also operated influential New York galleries, including 291, the Intimate Gallery, and An American Place.
His professional activities helped introduce American audiences to European modernism. He exhibited works connected with artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Auguste Rodin, while also supporting emerging American artists including O'Keeffe.
Stieglitz and O'Keeffe married in 1924. His extensive photographic portraits of her became a major part of his later work, but O'Keeffe's artistic reputation ultimately rested on her own paintings and drawings. Camera Work is sometimes confused with later photography magazines; it was Stieglitz's pioneering publication and ended before their marriage.
