Which artist photographed Georgia O’Keeffe more than 300 times?

Alfred Stieglitz photographed Georgia O’Keeffe more than 300 times.

Stieglitz began photographing O’Keeffe in 1917 and continued for roughly two decades. The resulting body of work includes portraits, studies of her hands, and photographs of her body that became an important part of both artists’ public histories.

The photographs were not merely private records. Stieglitz exhibited many of them, and they helped construct an image of O’Keeffe within the modern-art culture of New York. O’Keeffe later objected to aspects of how her identity had been framed through those photographs and increasingly insisted on being understood through her own paintings.

Stieglitz is sometimes remembered only as O’Keeffe’s husband, but he was also a major photographer, publisher, and gallery director. The scale of this photographic series makes it one of the best-known artist-and-muse collaborations in American art.
