Margaret Treadwell 1921

"Margaret Treadwell" is a 1921 portrait photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a renowned American photographer known for his pioneering work in modern photography. The image captures Margaret Treadwell, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century art world, in a close-up, emphasizing her face and the subtle play of light and shadow on her features. Stieglitz's masterful use of composition and light, combined with the intimate subject matter, showcases his signature style of Pictorialism, which aimed to elevate photography to the level of fine art. This portrait, like many of Stieglitz's works, offers a glimpse into the lives and personalities of those who surrounded him in the artistic circles of New York City.
