Alfred Stieglitz at the 291 Gallery by photographer Edward Steichen (American, Born in Luxembourg 1879 - 1973)
This is a photograph of Stieglitz taken at his gallery, 291.  Alfred Stieglitz was my lover, husband and supporter of my work.  
He exhibited fine art, photographs and many great european artists, for example: Matisse, Rodin, Picasso, Cézanne and of course my work.  He was a strong force in the New York art world at that time.  


The Terminal by Alfred Stieglitz, 1892. 
Stieglitz was also a very fine artist and took many photographs of New York City around 1892.  His photographs are of ordinary urban subjects, but he would often use natural elements like snow, rain and smoke to unify and  soften the harshness of the city.  Stieglitz used a small 4x5 camera which was portable and suitable for his subject matter instead of a large tripod studio camera.
