A noted photographer, publisher, gallery owner and modern-art pioneer as well as mentor, promoter and husband of Georgia O’Keeffe, Stieglitz was a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on the history of art. To celebrate his contributions, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum will preview the short film, Looking for Mr. Stieglitz, by Steve Zeifman, followed by a conversation on Stieglitz’s life and legacy on March 2, 2014 from 3:30-5:00pm. “Even during his lifetime, Stieglitz was a near mythical figure whose importance is almost impossible to overstate,” said Cody Hartley, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum director of curatorial affairs. “Without Stieglitz, there would be no Georgia O’Keeffe as we know her and the entire history of Modernism would be much poorer.” Following the film screening, curators and filmmakers will be on-hand to discuss Stieglitz’s influence including Cody Hartley; Kate Ware, filmmaker and Curator of Photography at the New Mexico Museum of Art; as well as filmmaker Steve Zeifman of 291 Film Partners. Looking for Mr. Stieglitz is a 2013, 15-minute film that follows an episode in Stieglitz’s career. Filmed in New Mexico and created by local filmmakers, the film stars Rachel de La Torre and Tone Forrest.
