Kitty—Flower-Pot 1904

"Kitty—Flower-Pot" is a 1904 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a prominent figure in the Photo-Secession movement. Stieglitz's signature soft-focus aesthetic is evident in the image of a young girl, possibly his daughter, holding a potted plant. The girl's delicate features and the blurred background create a dreamy, almost ethereal quality, characteristic of pictorialism. The photograph explores themes of childhood innocence and the beauty of everyday life, highlighting Stieglitz's artistic vision of elevating photography to the status of fine art.
