Alfred Stieglitz was a pioneering gallerist and innovative photographer, and their wedding in December 1924 symbolically cemented the careers of two brilliant artists.

Pollock promoted a kind of art where the very act of its making was the art, naturally pushing art further in abstraction. Rothko hoped his canvases would poke at our inner archetypal selves, eliciting cathartic experiences — ones needed even more before, during and just after World War Two. Unpack how their passion for art and psychology cemented their legacies together. One-hour lecture plus Q&A: $25 [Learn More]( More lectures available!
