Who brought Georgia O'Keeffe's drawings to Alfred Stieglitz in 1916?

Anita Pollitzer brought Georgia O'Keeffe’s drawings to Alfred Stieglitz in 1916.

Pollitzer was a photographer and O'Keeffe’s friend from their student years. She showed Stieglitz a group of O'Keeffe’s abstract charcoal drawings, helping introduce the young artist’s work to a major New York gallery figure.

Stieglitz exhibited the drawings at his gallery, 291, in 1916. The presentation was important because O'Keeffe’s bold abstractions differed from the conventional academic art expected of many women artists at the time.

Pollitzer later wrote a biography of O'Keeffe, while Stieglitz became O'Keeffe’s husband and a major photographic chronicler of her life. Rebecca Strand is connected with O'Keeffe’s first New Mexico trip, but she was not the person who brought the 1916 drawings to Stieglitz.
