Arthur B. Carles 1912

Alfred Stieglitz's 1912 photograph "Arthur B. Carles" is a striking portrait of the American artist, captured in a relaxed pose, seated in an armchair. The use of soft lighting and a dark background highlights the subject's features, creating a sense of intimacy. Stieglitz's mastery of the photographic medium is evident in the crisp details and the subtle tonal variations. This portrait exemplifies the artistic and intellectual circles that Stieglitz cultivated in early 20th-century New York, and it offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in the American art world.
