Alfred Stieglitz was born on January 1, 1864 in Hoboken, New Jersey, to parents who had emigrated from Germany.  In 1881, his wealthy father sold his business and took the family for several years to Europe, where Stieglitz completed his education, including studies with famed photo chemist Hermann Vogel.  By 1890, when he returned to New York, he was a highly proficient amateur photographer.  Stieglitz became active in what became the Camera Club of New York, writing articles for magazines and winning prizes in competitions.  In 1902, he started the Photo Secession, a group that included many of the leading photographers of the era, and began publishing its journal, Camera Work.  Stieglitz went on to manage New York art galleries that featured both photography and other media.  His second wife was the artist Georgia O’Keeffe.  He died on July 13, 1946.
