Alfred Stieglitz photographed Georgia O'Keeffe in the famous portrait series of the 1920s.
Stieglitz made hundreds of photographs of O'Keeffe between 1917 and 1937. The portraits range from close studies of her hands, face, and body to more formal images. Together they created an unusually extensive photographic record of an artist and contributed strongly to O'Keeffe's public image.
Stieglitz was a leading American photographer and an important promoter of modern art. He first exhibited O'Keeffe's drawings at his gallery 291 and later became her husband; they married in 1924.
The portraits are sometimes attributed to other modernist photographers because O'Keeffe was photographed by several artists during her career. The best-known sustained series, however, was made by Stieglitz, whose artistic and personal relationship with her lasted for decades.
