Katharine Dudley 1922

"Katharine Dudley" is a 1922 photographic work by Alfred Stieglitz, a leading figure in 20th-century American photography. The image, captured in a dark and intimate setting, features a pair of women's shoes, likely belonging to Stieglitz's wife, Georgia O'Keeffe. The stark contrasts and minimalist composition highlight the form and texture of the footwear, reflecting Stieglitz's interest in exploring the beauty of everyday objects. This work exemplifies Stieglitz's signature style of "straight photography", emphasizing the inherent beauty and artistic potential of the photograph itself.
