Sherwood Anderson 1923

Alfred Stieglitz's 1923 portrait, *Sherwood Anderson*, captures the American novelist in a contemplative mood. Stieglitz, a renowned photographer known for his pioneering work in modern art, creates a striking image of Anderson. The composition emphasizes Anderson's face and features, framed by a soft, textured background that provides an intimate and slightly melancholic tone. The image is a prime example of Stieglitz's signature style, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of his subjects through the medium of photography. The portrait is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
