Finally, Edward Steichen (1879 - 1973) was an all around artist, who was born in Luxembourg and grew up in the US.  He had the fortune of working for high society magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, and gained both fame and wealth in the process.  I love his pensive, curious and reminiscent portraits of Greta Garbo.

Alfred Stieglitz (1864 - 1946) was another photographer, whom I admired in the 1980s.  He was an American pioneer in modern art.  Georgia O'Keeffe, a renown American artist in her own right - his lover, then wife - was a favorite subject.  I was enthralled by her hands, as evidently he was, too.
 

Portraits of Artists, by Arnold Newman

Marc Chagall

Man Ray

Igor Stravinsky

Arnold Newman was an American photographer (1918 - 2006), whom I admired when I was an aspiring photographer in the 1980s.  I loved his careful composition, especially portraits where context loomed large over his subject.  It was as if a piece of work, the space of the studio, or an instrument of art was far more telling of that subject than the subject itself and was therefore more than warranting of portraiture.
