Georgia O'Keeffe 1919 - 1921

This 1919-1921 photo by Alfred Stieglitz, a prominent figure in 20th-century photography, captures Georgia O'Keeffe, a renowned American artist known for her abstract paintings. The image, printed in a soft-toned, almost sepia, emphasizes O'Keeffe's strong features and direct gaze. Stieglitz's use of natural lighting and a close-up composition creates an intimate portrait that highlights the artist's individuality and artistic spirit. This portrait is an iconic example of Pictorialism, a style of photography that sought to elevate the medium to the status of art.
