Mrs. Fiene by Lachaise 1927

"Mrs. Fiene," a 1927 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, is a striking portrait of the sculptor's wife. The image, taken in profile, captures the subject's strong features and expressive face. The sculpture's rough, textured surface is rendered in stark black and white, highlighting the contrast between the light and shadow, and creating a sense of both realism and abstraction. This photograph is a testament to Stieglitz's mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects, and his enduring fascination with the relationship between photography and sculpture.
