Georgia Engelhard 1920 - 1922

This 1920-1922 photograph, "Georgia Engelhard," by Alfred Stieglitz is a prime example of Pictorialism. It depicts a young woman, Georgia Engelhard, in a simple, almost transparent, white garment, adjusting her clothing against a blurred background. The soft focus and intimate composition of the image emphasize the subject's sensuality and vulnerability. The work is a striking example of Stieglitz's experimentation with photographic technique and his interest in capturing the beauty and sensuality of the female form. This photograph is often seen as a celebration of the female body and an exploration of the artist's personal relationship with his subject.
