Alfred Stieglitz
Georgia O'KeeffeAlfred Stieglitz was a major force behind shows of Georgia O'Keeffe's work for the next 25 years. Her first individual show at his gallery was well received. She sold her first piece at that show in 1917. Stieglitz became O'Keeffe's strongest supporter. Seven years later he became her husband. He was 24 years older than his new wife. The relationship between Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz was not an easy one. O'Keeffe once said that to her "he was much more wonderful in his work than as a human being." But, she also said she loved him for what seemed "clear and bright and wonderful." The two remained married until his death in 1946.
