Georgia O'Keeffe c. 1933

This 1933 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz depicts Georgia O'Keeffe, a renowned American modernist painter. The image showcases O'Keeffe's stoic and introspective nature, as she sits against a backdrop of stacked logs. Stieglitz, known for his pioneering work in photography and his relationship with O'Keeffe, captures her in a moment of quiet contemplation. The stark contrasts of light and shadow, characteristic of Stieglitz's style, emphasize the subject's form and create a sense of depth. This photograph, considered a significant work in the history of American photography, exemplifies Stieglitz's ability to portray both the physical and the emotional essence of his subject.
