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.
