Web Assignment #4

1. Who was Alfred Stieglitz and why is he noteworthy in the history of photography?
He was an American photographer and modern art promoter.  He introduced many European artists to the U.S.
2. Choose a photograph he made, upload it to your blog, and explain why you chose it as your favorite by him.
This picture is my favorite by Alfred because the snow is swirling in the background, but you don't lose the outline of the buildings in the back.  Also, there are lines in the snow in the foreground, leading my eyes to the subject material.

3. With what famous painter was he in a relationship? Who was she?  Upload a painting by her that you like.
Extra: How did they influence each other in their art making?
Georgia O'keeffe.  She was also a painter.
