Who was Georgia O'Keeffe's husband and a major figure in American photography?

Alfred Stieglitz was Georgia O'Keeffe's husband and a major figure in American photography. The couple married in 1924 and remained together until Stieglitz died in 1946.

Stieglitz was a photographer, publisher, and influential promoter of modern art. Through galleries such as 291 and An American Place, he introduced American audiences to European avant-garde artists and supported emerging American artists, including O'Keeffe.

Their relationship became an important part of the history of American modernism. Stieglitz exhibited O'Keeffe's work and made hundreds of photographs of her, while O'Keeffe developed an independent artistic reputation that did not depend solely on his support.

A common mix-up is to identify Stieglitz only as O'Keeffe's photographer. He was also her husband, dealer, and one of the central figures in the early public presentation of her art.
