Modern Art and America

Alfred Stieglitz is among the handful of truly seminal figures in American modern art, and the three New York Galleries he ran - 291 (1908-1917), the Intimate Gallery (1925-1929) and An American Place (1925-1929) - were at the heart of his activities. This National Gallery show will be the first to examine Stieglitz's accomplishments as gallery director alongside his photographs. His images will be seen with the work of some the artists he championed - Matisse, Picasso, Cezanne, Brancusi, and close friends Georgia O' Keefe and Marsden Hartley.
