A photographer, gallerist, and major figure in the promotion of modern art and photography as a fine art, Stieglitz was Norman\u2019s mentor, friend, lover, and photography teacher. In this image she was inspired by Stieglitz\u2019s architectural views of Manhattan that focus on the abstract, geometric qualities of skyscrapers rather than their height.",
