Thesis (Ph.D.)--Case Western Reserve University, 2007.

This dissertation examines the seminal efforts of Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe to secure for the medium of photography, and specifically Stieglitz's own work, a place of lasting distinction in American art museums. Stieglitz's inaugural gifts to museums during his lifetime and O'Keeffe's wider distribution of her husband's photographs after his death are documented facts in the literature on these two central figures in American art of the twentieth century. However, to date there has been no fully detailed analysis of the independent and collaborative steps both Stieglitz and O'Keeffe took to realize Stieglitz's dream for museum recognition of photography as a fine art.

520 $a This dissertation examines the seminal efforts of Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe to secure for the medium of photography, and specifically Stieglitz's own work, a place of lasting distinction in American art museums. Stieglitz's inaugural gifts to museums during his lifetime and O'Keeffe's wider distribution of her husband's photographs after his death are documented facts in the literature on these two central figures in American art of the twentieth century. However, to date there has been no fully detailed analysis of the independent and collaborative steps both Stieglitz and O'Keeffe took to realize Stieglitz's dream for museum recognition of photography as a fine art.
520 $a To support my thesis, I analyze Stieglitz's deliberate efforts to define his photographs as unique works of art. Invoking the influential theories of Walter Benjamin regarding the effects of technological reproducibility on the reception of art, I investigate the means by which Stieglitz countered common assumptions about photography as a mindless mechanical process, successfully imbuing his photographs with a unique quality equivalent to other arts such as painting and sculpture. This "aura" led to the inclusion of Stieglitz's signature images---a first for photographs---in the collections of American museums.
520 $a In addition, this dissertation demonstrates that Georgia O'Keeffe's efforts to further Stieglitz's dream are central to a fuller understanding of the institutional history of photography in America. While scholars readily attribute O'Keeffe's success as an artist to the promotional efforts Stieglitz waged on her behalf, few acknowledge the extent of O'Keeffe's equally determinant role in securing her husband's lasting fame. A thorough analysis of O'Keeffe's deliberate management of Stieglitz's oeuvre during his lifetime, subsequently as executor of his estate, and finally, as self-appointed steward of his artistic legacy for the remainder of her long life, reveals that O'Keeffe is, to a significant degree, responsible not only for our understanding of Stieglitz as a photographer, but also for the subsequent success of the medium he championed in the United States.
