Dorothy Norman (American, 1905-1997)
Dorothy Norman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1905 and attended Smith College in Northhampton, Massachusetts, and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In 1927, Norman visited Alfred Stieglitz’s first gallery, The Intimate Gallery on Park Avenue in New York City, and soon thereafter met Stieglitz. As their friendship deepened to love, Stieglitz photographed Norman and encouraged her to make her own photographs. He trained her in development and printing techniques, often writing his comments on the verso of her photographs. Norman documented activities and installations in An American Place, Stieglitz’s next gallery, which gave her the opportunity to make portraits of the many artists and writers who were drawn there. Norman, who was also known for being an advocate for social change and a participant in a variety of liberal causes, died in 1997.
