Who photographed Georgia O'Keeffe in a famous series beginning in 1917?
Answer
Alfred Stieglitz
Alfred Stieglitz photographed Georgia O'Keeffe in a famous series beginning in 1917.
Stieglitz was a pioneering American photographer, gallery owner, and promoter of modern art. He began making portraits of O'Keeffe in 1917, and over the following decades produced hundreds of photographs of her, including portraits and nude studies.
Their artistic and personal relationship became central to both biographies. They married in 1924, but O'Keeffe developed an independent reputation through her own paintings and drawings. Stieglitz's photographs are often discussed alongside his role in exhibiting her work, not as evidence that he created her art.
