This 1919-1937 photograph, "Georgia O'Keeffe—Hand," by Alfred Stieglitz, is a striking example of the photographer's signature style. Stieglitz, a pioneer of modern photography, often captured the beauty of everyday objects and subjects, including the human body. This particular photograph, which features O'Keeffe's hand holding a plaster cast of her own hand, is a powerful exploration of form, texture, and the interplay of light and shadow. The photograph highlights the unique curves and contours of the human hand, while simultaneously emphasizing the abstract qualities of the plaster cast. This interplay between representation and abstraction makes "Georgia O'Keeffe—Hand" a captivating and thought-provoking work.
