Northeast Bedroom Gallery

Alfred Stieglitz may be best remembered for championing the work of his wife, the artist Georgia O'Keeffe.  But the role that the photographer played in advancing the cause of modern art and popularizing new avant-garde styles from Europe was perhaps even more important.  Beginning in 1905, Stieglitz devoted his New York gallery, known as 291, to the work of emerging modernists such as O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Alfred Maurer, Abraham Walkowitz, and Max Weber.  While Reynolda's own Pool in the Woods, Lake George, by O'Keeffe travels to the Whitney Museum of Art and the Phillips Collection, we take the opportunity to examine the influence that Stieglitz had on artists beyond O'Keeffe.
