...Frenchmen Etienne Carjat and Jean-Eugene-Auguste Atget capture the romanticism of rainy Parisian streets and of distinguished bearded gentlemen. Gertrude Kasebier explores the classic form of mother and child. And Alfred Stieglitz a papa in photographer and a great art lover, introduced the American public to Picasso, Matisse and others. His misty streets in "Glow of Night. N.Y.," and the rippling reflections of "Venetian Doorways," are nicely juxtaposed to point out staccato reflections in wet surfaces...
...years in Europe between 1905 and 1909, he never willingly admitted a debt to what he saw there. "Played some billiards, incidentally knocked out some batches of etchings"-such was his summary of his time overseas. His one crucial meeting in Europe was with another American, the photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who invited him to join the "291" group and acted as his dealer, supporter and closest friend until Stieglitz died...
Fifty years ago, Georgia O'Keeffe was the muse and queen bee of the New York avantgarde. A small, aggressive coterie, its social life revolved around the "291" Gallery, run by O'Keeffe's future husband, Alfred Stieglitz.

The milk train of history, having stopped at Tenth Street to pick up the Abstract Expressionists, could not be expected to halt at so remote a siding as Abiquiu, N. Mex. But if it could...
...April 1, the number of New York Stock Exchange member firms declined from 646 to 612, largely through mergers. Recently, Dean Witter & Co. agreed to take over San Francisco-based J. Barth & Co., and Clark, Dodge acquired the West Coast brokerage firm of Irving Lundborg & Co. Last week Halle & Stieglitz announced that it would take over five offices of Orvis Brothers & Co. in the Manhattan area, and Charles Plohn & Co. said that it would economize by transferring its stock-clearing operations to Axelrod...
