Alfred Stieglitz was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1864 to German immigrants. He began to photograph while a student in Berlin in the 1880s and studied with the renowned photochemist Hermann Wilhelm Vogel.
On his return to the United States in 1890 he began to advocate that photography should be treated as an art. He wrote many articles arguing his cause, edited the periodicals Camera Notes (1897-1902) and Camera Work (1903-1917), and in 1902 formed the Photo-Secession, an organization of photographers committed to establishing the artistic merit of photography. In 1905 Stieglitz opened the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession at 291 Fifth Avenue, New York (later called 291). From 1905 until his death in 1946, Stieglitz mounted more than 190 exhibitions in his three New York galleries. ( Bron: nga.gov)
