Dorothy True 1919

"Dorothy True" (1919) is a photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a prominent figure in the Pictorialist movement. This photograph, known for its stark simplicity and focus on form, showcases a woman's leg clad in stockings and a high-heeled shoe. The image is cropped tightly, emphasizing the leg and shoe, creating a sense of intimacy and sensuality. Stieglitz was known for his explorations of the female form and his use of photography to capture the beauty of everyday life. This piece reflects his modernist tendencies and the exploration of abstraction in photography.
