Photography as a LEGIT Art Form // Alfred Stieglitz

Alfred Stieglitz was a driving force in transforming photography into a recognized art form, shaping both its practice and perception in the 20th century. As founder of the Photo-Secession and publisher of the groundbreaking journal Camera Work*, he set new standards for photographic quality while promoting movements from Pictorialism to Modernism. His iconic photograph *The Steerage marked a turning point in straight photography, and his Equivalents series pioneered abstraction through images of clouds. Alongside his partnership with Georgia O’Keeffe, Stieglitz helped define modern art in America, leaving a legacy that continues to influence photography today.
