It's in a museum. Steiglitz was best friends with her father. He even accompanied Steiglitz and his wife on their honeymoon to France in 1894. There are quite a few family pictures taken by Steiglitz.

Here are a couple of her father's paintings. Along with Paul Klee he founded SEMA, with members such as Kandinsky. It was a group of artists taking a radical departure from the Beaux Arts tradition. He was American but spent much of his life in Paris and Munich.





I can't draw to save my life and there have been artists on both sides of my family for generations.

My paternal grandfather was also an artist. I have this lovely memory of sitting on his lap painting a rose garden. I have some of his paintings as well as others from artists on my mom's side.




sorry to post these in the photography forum and to go on like this.
