Stieglitz, Alfred
Born Jan. 1, 1864, in Hoboken, N.J.; died July 13, 1946, in New York City. American photographer and expert in the theory of art photography. Stieglitz studied with the German photographer H. W. Vogel in Berlin from 1885 to 1890. An advocate of photography as an independent art form, Stieglitz urged rejection of the “imitation painting” approach and in 1902 founded the art organization Photo-Secession. He edited, among other publications, the magazine Camera Work (1902–17) and organized exhibitions where contemporary paintings and sculptures were shown along with photographs. Stieglitz’ work is typified by portraits and urban scenes that combine a photojournalistic approach with subtle lighting effects. REFERENCENorman, D. Alfred Stieglitz: An American Seer.
