Alfred Steiglitz

January 1, 1864 – July 13, 1946

Alfred Stieglitz was an American photographer famous for fiercely championing artistic photography before it was respected in the art community. 
"Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) is perhaps the most important figure in the history of visual arts in America...Through his many roles – as a photographer, as a discoverer and promoter of photographers and of artists in other media, and as a publisher, patron, and collector – he had a greater impact on American art than any other person has had."
