Stieglitz' grandniece presents an intimate portrait of a photographer who sacrificed career and security to nourish an emerging avant-garde. She enriches her memories of the large family circle with facts and insights gathered from relatives, colleagues, friends, and from fresh access to family letters. She sees her subject in perspective as a cantankerous, inspired, whimsical, candid, insightful, naughty, sweet, dynamic and outrageous man. Also includes information on the artists he sustained and on Georgia O'Keeffe, his second wife.
