Georgia O'Keeffe 1918

This 1918 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz captures Georgia O'Keeffe, a prominent American modernist painter, in a candid portrait. The image showcases O'Keeffe's striking features and contemplative gaze, as she adjusts her sweater while holding a bouquet of autumn leaves. The soft, diffused lighting and the intimate scale of the work create a sense of intimacy and quiet introspection, echoing the artistic sensibilities that would come to define O'Keeffe's own artistic vision. Stieglitz's masterful use of light and shadow reveals the texture of O'Keeffe's clothing and the delicate details of the flowers, highlighting the beauty of the everyday.
