Photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz was the first American to exhibit the work of European modernist artists such as Auguste Rodin, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. But it was his support of artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, and Charles Demuth that transformed the landscape of art in the United States. This talk will look at the origins of Stieglitz’s galleries and closely consider the work of these artists and others whom he championed. William Perthes is an educator, author, and curator. He is the Bernard C. Watson Director of Adult Education at the Barnes Foundation. Bill has a background in philosophy and art history.
