Nel frattempo, nella vita di Alfred Stieglitz
Tutta la vita1918
O'Keeffe comes to New York; he leaves his family
In early June 1918 O'Keeffe moved to New York from Texas after Stieglitz promised her a quiet studio. Within a month his wife Emmy came home during one of the first nude photography sessions in the family apartment and told him to stop seeing O'Keeffe or get out; Stieglitz left and immediately found a place in the city where he and O'Keeffe could live together.
early 1921
Exhibition at the Anderson Galleries: 146 prints
At the invitation of Mitchell Kennerley, in early 1921 Stieglitz hung his first one-man exhibition since 1913: of the 146 prints only 17 had been seen before, and 46 were of O'Keeffe, many of them nudes, with the model unidentified. In the catalogue he made his famous declaration: “I was born in Hoboken. I am an American. Photography is my passion. The search for Truth my obsession.”
1922
A John Marin show and an auction of American art
In 1922 Stieglitz organised a large show of John Marin's paintings and etchings at the Anderson Galleries, followed by a huge auction of nearly two hundred paintings by more than forty American artists, including O'Keeffe.
November 1922
Death of his mother, Hedwig
Stieglitz's mother Hedwig (1845–1922) died in November 1922. As with his father, he buried his grief in his work: he spent time with Paul Strand and his wife, the painter Rebecca Salsbury, reviewed the work of the newcomer Edward Weston and began organising a new show of O'Keeffe's work.
