Joseph T. Keiley

Joseph T. Keiley was an artist known primarily for his photographic works and prints, active during a key transitional period spanning 1892 to 1901. Though his period of artistic output was concise, his work is held in major American repositories, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Gallery of Art, attesting to the museum-quality of his production.

Keiley’s representation in collections includes thirteen documented photographs and two prints. His work often encompassed both formal portraits, such as Asia (Zit-kala-za), and landscape studies, including Landscape with trees and Landscape with trees and mountains. He also contributed to major photographic publications of the era, documented by works such as A Sketch, No. 7 from the portfolio "American Pictorial Photography, Series I" (1899) and Shylock-A Sketch, No. 9 from the portfolio "American Pictorial Photography, Series II” (1901).

As Keiley’s photographic works transition into the public domain, his output, including high-quality prints and downloadable artwork, ensures the continued accessibility of Joseph T.
