Dorothy Norman 1930 - 1931

Alfred Stieglitz's "Dorothy Norman" (1930-1931) is a striking portrait of the art critic and photographer. The image focuses on Norman's face, captured in a close-up shot that emphasizes her piercing gaze and the subtle play of light and shadow across her features. Her dark hair is partially covered by a black beret, adding a sense of mystery and elegance. Stieglitz, a renowned figure in the Pictorialist movement, captures the essence of his subject through a timeless, minimalist approach, highlighting the inherent beauty of the human form.
