Which New York photographer and gallery owner married Georgia O'Keeffe?

The story behind the answer

Alfred Stieglitz married Georgia O'Keeffe.

Stieglitz was an influential American photographer, publisher, and gallery owner who helped introduce modern European art to American audiences. He first encountered O'Keeffe’s abstract drawings in 1916 and exhibited them at his New York gallery, 291.

Their relationship became both personal and professional. Stieglitz photographed O'Keeffe extensively, producing hundreds of portraits over several decades. They married in 1924, and their correspondence and artistic partnership became a major part of both artists’ biographies.

Stieglitz was more than O'Keeffe’s husband: he was a leading advocate for modern art in the United States. However, O'Keeffe developed an independent reputation and later resisted interpretations that reduced her work to his influence or to symbolic readings of her flower paintings.
