Which artist was Georgia O'Keeffe married to from 1924 until his death in 1946?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe was married to photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz from 1924 until his death in 1946.

Stieglitz first encountered O'Keeffe’s charcoal abstractions through photographs sent to him in 1916. He exhibited her work at his New York gallery, 291, and became an important advocate for her career. Their relationship developed into both a marriage and a major artistic partnership.

Stieglitz photographed O'Keeffe extensively, producing hundreds of portraits and nudes over several decades. O'Keeffe later emphasized that his photographs represented his vision of her rather than defining her own art.

The couple married in New York in 1924. Stieglitz died in 1946, after which O'Keeffe increasingly divided her time between New Mexico and New York before moving permanently to New Mexico.
