John Marin 1910

This 1910 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, titled "John Marin," is a striking portrait of the American painter and printmaker. The composition uses strong shadows and a simple background to focus on Marin's enigmatic expression. Stieglitz, a renowned photographer, masterfully captures Marin's presence, emphasizing the artist's thoughtful demeanor and the depth of his gaze. This work, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Stieglitz's contribution to Pictorialism, a photographic movement that emphasized artistic expression and aesthetic principles.
