The Alfred Stieglitz/Georgia O'Keeffe Archive

The Alfred Stieglitz/Georgia O'Keeffe Archive. "...There are few couples more prominent in universe of twentieth-century American culture than Stieglitz and O'Keeffe (1886-1986), who became his second wife in 1924. She was in many ways his opposite: born and raised in Wisconsin, she studied in Chicago, Virginia, and New York, and taught art in Virginia, Texas, and South Carolina before meeting Stieglitz at his gallery in 1916. Their instant mental and physical attraction led to a forty-year relationship marked by intense devotion to each other’s life and work, made all the more remarkable when it spanned great periods of physical separation once O’Keeffe discovered her love for the landscape of the American Southwest and spent increasing amounts of time living and working there."
