Alfred Stieglitz (from the series Pictures of Ink) 2000

"Alfred Stieglitz (from the series Pictures of Ink)" is a 2000 photograph by Vik Muniz, a Brazilian artist known for his innovative use of materials. This black and white photograph depicts the photographer Alfred Stieglitz, rendered in a unique technique using ink. The ink appears to be arranged in small, undulating dots, creating a textured and almost abstract portrait of the photographic pioneer. This work is part of Muniz's "Pictures of Ink" series, where he uses unconventional materials like chocolate syrup and sugar to create iconic images from art history. The series explores the concept of representation and how materials can influence our perception of an image.
