Remarks
Stieglitz was close to his niece Georgia Engelhard, the daughter of his sister Agnes and her husband George Engelhard. As part of a series of exhibitions of children’s art at 291, he showed her work in 1916. As she grew older, her earthy sense of humor, daring spirit, and athletic nature endeared her also to O’Keeffe who granted “Georgia Minor” or “The Kid,” as the family called her, the rare privilege of accompanying her on painting expeditions. An amateur photographer and internationally recognized equestrian, Engelhard also became a celebrated mountain climber.
