Yet her life in New York in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, her professional and passionate relationship with Alfred Stieglitz as his student and the manager of his gallery, An American Place, and her career as the publisher of the intellectual periodical Twice A Year place her firmly in the midst of the most influential artistic currents and personalities of her time."
